Problems after AP pulley install.

I just installed my AP pulley and followed all the directions from the DiY on the forum but somewhere something went wrong, I've done all the resets and what not but my car is like hardly running, at first it was just bogging down when it was in idle now its like doing mis fires like CRAZY the car doesnt even have enough power to move itself.
BTW I just replaced all the coils and plugs like 2 weeks ago. no idea.

Did you happen to bend the e-shaft positioning plate while removing the pulley?
Or maybe some metallic debris got on the positioning sensor during the removal/install.
And just to verify... you did the 20x brake stomp reset AND verified the oil pressure needle swept back and forth?

I did bend one of the teeth, but I lightly tapped it back with a hammer, and I wiped off the sensor to make sure nothing was on it. About the 20x brake thing, I did it like everyone said too but the needle doesnt bounce up, but it sets off my CEL, turn the key to on and 20x breaks stomps is all there is to it right?

What year is your car?
'09-'10 has a different procedure for clearing the NVRAM

Also... if your VIN is before 40132647 for MT, 40132607 for AT, or vehicles without their PCM updated to "L" calibration do not have an indicator to confirm the clearing procedure was performed.
