sc300's have coil packs????i though the sc400s had them, and the sc300 had plugs cap n rotor and wires and one ignition coil?? maybe im wrong... unless you've got a gte cause im pretty sure those have coil packs?? anyways if you changed the wires make sure your firing order is correct cause if not your screwed...

I would say check your gaps on your plugs, make sure all the vacuum hoses to your intake manifold are properly in. The metal gasket could maybe need to be replaced if wasn't removed and reinstalled carefully and correctly... Since you're on coil packs, I would figure you installed the firing order correctly...
