Hey gang:

While trouble shooting the other day I broke out my can of contact cleaner and cleaned the connections on the coil, distributor plug, Hall plug, relays and relay box plug.

I apparently crossed two of the coil wires.  Looking down from the engine bay, there is one on the left (drivers side) which is a thicker wire, one on the bottom that attaches to a yellow connector and one on the right (engine side) that comes out of the same harness the injector wires do.

I thought I was paying better attention, but I accidentally switched the yellow connector wire on the bottom with the one on the right that comes out of the injector harness.  What damage if any, could I have caused to the system?  
Could I have fried my Hall unit?

On another note and possibly related, after I did this I noticed the starter would turn the engine over and then drag as if the engine were out of time.  I brought the engine to TDC this morning and set the rotor to the mark on the distributor.  It still had the drag and drained my battery like crazy.  I switched them back, but by then the battery was almost dead.  The battery is new by the way, but if it persists, I will take it and have it tested tomorrow after a good nights charge.

I know one of you electrical experts will probably know this.  What were the two wires I crossed and would they have caused the battery to drain so bad that it would cause the starter to drag.  I pulled it (the starter) and had it tested and it kicked in every time so I know it's not that.
