What is your question?
just bought the car it ran ok but still wanted to put a tune up on it for the winter so i changed the plugs and wires and now the car runs worst then before . is the coil packs a part of the tune up also? when i go to take off the car acts like it cant breath for a few seconds and it vibrates while doing this then it just kicks in and goes could this be the coil packs? they sill look like they are the factory ones! also another question i noticed that the car had a valve cover leak on the driver side, is it ok to replace just the one instead of doing them both or will it hurt anything. im a 23 year old and im still learning so any answer is better than none

Hey Jason, From reading your question, it sounds like you made a mistake when installing the plugs and wires. Working on cars is often a case of trial and error, and every technician out there has made and continues to make mistakes when working on cars, however with experience comes the ability to recognize and fix your mistakes. Go back over what you did, make sure the plugs are installed and gapped properly, the wires are installed in the correct order and no hoses or wiring was left dis-connected. Don't replace any other parts! If the car ran OK before the work, then it highly unlikely a part has failed. If you don't have a repair manual, you need to get one.

I just have to ask because I made my first mistake On my first car trying to work on it and not knowing That before working on a car u should unhook the battery Doing anything. This will help reset the computer after About 30 min or so. Unhook the negative first then positive. So just go ahead and unhook the battery for 30min-1hour And see if that fixes the problem.
