Start by resetting the ECU, just disconnect bat neg and hold the brake for 30s. Then deflood the engine again to be sure, and it's probably also wise to add some ATF or MMO.

You absolutely need to verify that you have the L1 and L2 wires correct. Also pull off each wire at the plug and be sure it's seated well.

Then try to start it, and if it runs like crap look for an ECU code again.

What all did you remove in the process of changing plugs? Personally, I remove nothing, but some people go taking all kinds of stuff out.

Thats why its sometimes better to change plugs from under.

All you gotta do is jack the car up and lay on your back.

People think its more convenient from the top and possibly so but if you havent done it enough times, you knock other stuff out, forget something and you get problems like this.

I rather do it once, do it right. Speaking of plug changing, i need to do mine soon too lol.

i went through the bottom, i am pretty sure all the plugs and aiers are right, becasue the car runs wonderfully, it jsut keeps getting better the more i drive it, i think the ecu jsut neded to relearn real world driveing conditions, and where it was fludded it jsut need to get cleared out. so i think everthing is back to normal, thanks to everyone here.
