So after using my thermogun on my headers to check temp, i checked all the the spark plug wires with my multi-meter and i took one of the spark plug out to see what kind of plugs it had. Well after re-installing the spark plug that i took out and plugging all the wires back I started the car and it sounds horrible. I go to WOT and it doesnt accelerate like it should and its not throwing any codes. Anyone knows whats going on?

Did you crack the insulator on the plug or maybe damage the plug wire when you unplugged it ?

Plugs are easy to crack, a lot of times you can look at them while running and see the spark leaking. Might be an easy way to find the broken one

I just changed a the wires with new ones and still acting the same way, i have new spark plugs ill change tomorrow to see if it changes anything. If i would have cracked the plug it should just been of just the one i took out. But i will check tomorrow.

Update: found the issue on why my car was sluggish and didnt have much power. I thought it was cuz the abs light was on but it was due to 3 spark plugs that was full of black gunk and another that wasnt producing spark. So if anyone has that problem check your spark plugs.
