you don't say if the car was running good before you did this, so I'll just assume it was (hate assuming). are you 100% sure you put your plug wires on right?
did you put your fuel filter on backwards?

Nope, most of that cheap-o cleaner wont work, you can get the injectors cleaned at a shop

I bought my car w/ a bad fuel injector (why it was so cheap) and I just paid a shop like $250-300 to fix it...
You could DIY for cheaper
Also, if it's not just a bad or a couple bad fuel injectors, you can get them all cleaned at a shop, not sure of the rates for that service tho
