Missing and glow plugs not working

I have a 97 f250 HD powerstroke that has a miss that I have been fighting for a little bet now and cant find the problem. It started after i replaced the velve cover gaskets because the plugs had gone bad. I also replaced the plugs to. If someone nows whats going on with this i could use a little help. also the glow plugs dont work for crap.

Did you solder the new pig tails on, or use butt connectors? If you used the crimp on butt connectors, this may be where the miss came from. X2 on the GP relay.
