ok. im late for school and my car is acting out wicked bad.
Last night i Pulled of the piece that says 2.4 Twin Cam, removed the 4 bolts, unplugged it and cleaned it up with a grill brush

put everything back last night, but when i got up this morning to start my car it started really hard, and when running it makes horrible noise
cant really describe it too well on here but its kind of like whom whom whomwhomwhomwhom whom whom whom, just keeps repeating slowly then a quick spurt of fast ones
it seems like the whole engine is vibrating, and u can hear it out the exhaust too
someone please explain

You made a spring inside the boot fall out. Find it and put it back in so you're running on 4 instead of 3 cylinders.

Inside the black rubber/plastic boot that's on the bottom of the white coilpack housing is a small spring which is what makes contact from the electrical connection inside the boot to the spark plug top.

Make sure you have the ground cable going to one of the bolt holes that hold it down, if that unit isnt grounded it wont work!
