Default Help with coil pack and plug leads - urgent

Hi,

I am driving the EF to QLD on saturday and I though I would do plugs and leads.
I took out the old plugs and the old leads. The new leads went on as the old came off - ie as Number one came off the coil pack, I was under the car putting the new number one on.
I used bosch leads and those fangled four prong plugs.
The car wont start. The engine when cranking has popped through the intake on LPG and has a smell of petrol when trying on petrol.

I am at a loss with what is going on. Can someone confirm the order on the coil pack and what the leads should read from front to back?

I wondered if it was possible that the old leads were so shot that the ECU needs to be reset to run with the new plugs and leads?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as the car is meant to be driving to QLD on saturday.

HELP??!!

Thanks! That did the trick.

I dont know what I had done??? I was mystified about why it wouldnt run.

Happy to say that the EF now has a new lease on life and a huge improvement in power, smoothness and I would hope economy? as a result.

or 2 at a time.

It doesnt matter if you get them mixed up in pairs, as long as 1/6 are at the front, 2/5 are in the middle and 3/4 are at the end it runs the same.

Thats what I did. Same thing I did on the AU.

Still didnt work.
