double check the wires to make sure you got them in the right places. then check again. make sure they are on all the way. including the coil wire. check all your plugins that are in the area of where you have been working.

No, there's a notch in the shaft. The only way you could put it on wrong is if you forced it with a sledge hammer.

How did you get ahead of me? I think we have a time/space continuum problem here!

you most likely have a couple plug wires crossed, its not hard to do even using a diagram.
