Why is my car running bad?

Hey i have a question. my car is running like ****. the cylinders are cutting in and out, i thought it was the the injecters but i'm not sure. it runs on like 5 or 6 cylinders and picks them up and drops them all the time. i checked all the plugs, they were fine. the coil was corroded but i cleaned that up. it might still be the wires but i dont know. hopefully its not the Opti spark. HELP ME please.
thanks

if you don't know how old the wires are then they are too old. That is probably your problem.

Make sure your plug wires didnt get burnt or cut somehow during the install. I have seen that happen time and time again. People dont want to take the time to route the wires properly.
