sounds like a dropped cylinder. Mine done this when a spark plug came loose... just outside newcastle (130 odd miles away from home ) with no tool kit to get the torx screws out to get to the plug... 40-50 mph all the way home anyone?

Sounds like you crossed the two ignition wires up. It's also possible that the gap is incorrect on one of the plugs causing a misfire.
