There is a button, it's on your keyboard, and it looks a little like this [ . ]. Use it after every complete thought you write. It's easy!

Check your check engine light codes. Even if it's not showing up as a CEL, it will still save the old ones. Did you follow the instructions on the Sea Foam can? You could have hydrolocked your engine and damaged something expensive. You could have also messed up a sensor. I doubt all that is the case though.

If you are a new owner, one thing you can do is go around your engine bay and check out all the sensor connectors. I found 1 that was flipped upside down, 2 that had bare wires, 1 with a broken wire, and 2 connectors that were missing or unlpugged all together. It's a wonder I was able to drive it home.

I can't tell by what you wrote, did you replace the spark plugs and wires with brand new ones, or did you just inspect the plug wires? If you haven't taken out the spark plugs it would be a good idea to take them out and see if they are fouled. If you are not running stock spark plugs, now is also a good time to put a set in. You can also shine a flashlight down in the hole and see if you've cracked a piston or something crazy like that, although I think it would run real real bad all the time if that was the case. That's how I diagnosed my no start : (
 
sorry just real upset about the car! Yes I changed wires and plugs this is my 3 dsm .
