Take off the spark plug cover and make sure you didn't squish any wires. Sometimes as you're putting the cover back on it's easy for a wire to move under the edge and then be smashed when you tighten the screws.

There have been a few posts like this in the last few months. You may have to hunt a little to find your issue, but if it worked before and doesn't work after you messed with it, then it is 99.9999% chance that it's something you did.
