If you have a Service Engine Soon light, then the PCM has stored a code. Need to hook up scanner and read codes before guessing about what could be wrong. Sorry, but that's the only way i know to be sure. I know your far from home but you need to find a shop that can download the codes.
Then post codes here and we can try to help.

I'd be sure the other ignition wires are good. This behavior could simply be a result of bad wires. The wires need to be for a supercharged 3800, as the spark is hotter. Wires can go bad and look brand new, so would be a good idea to just swap out the entire set. How many miles are on your car?
