Getting the order wrong is most common; followed by setting the gap wrong and
forgetting to hook up all the wires.
My point is that it possibly introduces a new problem, which can get very
confusing when you try to reason about what might be wrong. Generally only one
thing fails at a time, but now you have two things ... and the same thing goes
for changing any component to see if it's the problem. If the new component is
defective (which happens far too often), or gets improperly installed, the
problem just gets worse.
IMO, swapping components is a last resort, not a first approach.
