Its highly unlikely that wrong torque specs are causing your problem. Most likely issues to cause the problem are:

1) Mis-wired spark plug wires (you plugged a spark plug wire onto the wrong plug).
2) Plug wires not fully inserted. Check both ends of the wire to make sure the wire is FULLY connected.
3) Cracked/leaky wires. Open the hood at night and visually inspect the entire length of each wire while someone guns the engine a bit to try and induce sparking. If you see little sparks jumping around any of the wires, replace them.
