I had a mid fire code on 3 and 8 I changed the plugs and 2 ignition coils but know it runs worse and suggestions on what it could be or what I can do.

What year and motor do you have? How many miles?
Have you checked the torque on the plugs? Some models have a tendency of plugs backing out if not torqued properly.
What type of plugs did you install and were they pregapped? Have you checked the other plugs?
Have you checked connections to the coils?
Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
