Smoking engine after coil and spark plug change

[pilot4fn]

Are all the coil packs wires connected all the way to the coils - those are very easy to leave loose when the plug does not give spark and if even one is not attached well, the engine runs rough and exhaust smells like raw gas... don't ask how I know

Yes, they appear to be. That sounds like my current experience. I listened for a "click" when I connected them then pushed out to see if they would slip off and they stayed put. I'm still thinking it's something related to the coils.
