Default So I "fixed" my wife's beetle

It has 40K miles on it, so I decided to change the spark plugs and air filter. The air filter was no problem but the spark plugs were a PITA to change (2.0L engine). The only way I could get the wires out was to pull on the wire itself, there was just no way to grab the boots. Well, after I put new spark plugs in and started it up I got major misfiring. Thinking the new plugs were defective I put the old ones back in, no luck still misfire. I VAG'd it and the codes came up as multiple random misfires. I'm guessing I must've screwed up one of the wires pulling then off. I ordered a new set of wires but they won't be here 'til tomorrow. Of course my wife is now riding my **** 'cause I broke her car. Sometimes you just can't win
