Please help my car hates me!!!

Ok i just replaced the Fuel pump filter Maf plugs wires. The car starts fine but its shakes and shakes realy bad when i put it in gear. When i drive it it is exremely slow and unbearable under 2k but gets a little better over 2k. If i give the car too much gas it will stall out when it comes off the line please help me i have had this problem for about a month now!!!

So did you replace those parts to fix the problem you have now or did you pick it up after the work?

Ran OK before wires and plug change, then after it runs rough....Hhhhmmmmmm

Check wire connections, are the wires pushed in all the way???
Are plugs gapped a .050???
What kind of spark plugs used?? Are they the right plug???
Are the spark plugs tight and didnt come loose?????

I had a similar problem. Turns out one of the boots on the plug end of the wire was loose and not getting spark. The wire looked fine, until you kinda tugged on the end a bit. Just pushed it back in and now it works fine.
