Did you let it fully warm up before shutting it off to change plugs?

I'm guessing it's flooded.

Alright i put new plugs in it and put new plug wires on it. It wont even turn over anymore. It cant be flooded becasue it hasn't ran in a day, and it wont even turn over. i have plenty of charge in my battery, and i don't know what is going on, if anyone can help me with this crazy problem it would be great.

Okay, if the car wont turn over, I doubt your coil pack is the problem. Your starter or battery are suspect at this point.

well my car is an 89, and someone said that i couldn't take the air pump of it unless i did something to the 5 and 6 port or something, well the air pump has been of for about a week, i got aftermarket headers and the plate cover, do you think that maybe the air pump could be causing this??

Taking the air pump out will cause the aux ports to not open, but thats it. It has nothing at all to do with the car starting. Check your battery. If it wont turn over, it sounds like a very dead battery to me.

Well i am getting 12 volts with my battery, i can run everything such as lights, radio, etc but still not turning the car over, maybe could i have killed my ignition? And my 5 and 6 exaust ports, wont work without that pump? so i guess i have to put it back on if i want it to run faster?

There are ways to wire it up so that the ports open without the airpump, if you really hate it.
