how bad was your firing order? one cylinder mix up it should still run, just very very crappy.

Well if theres nothing wrong with anything else than the right firing order solves your problem. I would seriously pick up a haynes manual if I was you, their pretty cheap and they have all the common stuff covered like firing order and fluid capacities, what kind of spark plugs to buy, etc. lots of useful stuff. A must for an at home mechanic I'd say.
Anyways, if your firing order is 153624 then your good to go.
