Default 1992 2.3l convertible ignition problem

hey all,

got a 92 2.3l convertible. a couple of weeks ago, i changed the plugs and wires and it started to hesitate and lack power real bad. instead of doing it the smart way (1 wire at a time), i did them all at once and used the diagram that is in my haynes book for the 92 2.3. that's when it started to run bad. so for ***** and giggles, i switched it to the 93 because the coils didn't look like they were as offset as the 92 diagram. it ran better at idle, but still hesitated and lacked power when driving. i've spent the last 3 hours playing around with the configuration and here is what seems to work best, but it still hesitates a bit (especially with the a/c on). also, the a/c never gets cold. it did before changing the plugs and wires. it has the 2 coils where the wires attach:

2 3
4 1

4 3
1 2

-----------------front of engine (belts located at front of engine right?)-------------

here is what the haynes book says is the configuration for the 92- (tried to show the offset of the coils as in the book:


2 4
3 1

4 3
1 2

---------------- front of engine-------------------

and what the haynes book says is the configuration for the 93+


3 1
2 4

4 3
1 2

---------------front of engine-----------------------

any help?
