Car is slow now what to do what to do

Well today I changed my wheel hub bearings because they were grinding. Also I changed my water pump because it was leaking water from the little holes in it. Car did not over heat just to add. Also did a tune up new duralast wires and autolite 605. I took out acdelco iridium plugs.
My problem is the car runs slow now went taking off the low traction light comes on and slows car down but even with the traction thing off it still does not launch hard or spin the tires.
Also while driving it does not pull as hard.
This is on a stock 1998 gtp with fwi.

What should I do or look for need help getting ready to put my old stuff back on. Why would this happen and I know it's not all in my head.
Also when I take of hard it wants to instantly shift into second

also the car cranks more before starting so it harder to start now
and my altenator has a high pitch squeal what does this mean



A little upset spent time and mney to better my car and seem to have made it worse
any help would be great thanks alot



I'm thinking about unpluging my wheel hub bearing so the abs light will be on then see how it drives

It doesn't sound to me like you've got a KR problem to be fixing with colder plugs. Put in some 606's and see how it goes - it's a $12 fix.
 
also be careful with those duralast wires, i put some in my camaro and spent forever trying to diagnose why it ran like crap with nitrous on only to find it was the crappy $90 duralast wires. put $50 msd wires in and it ran like a raped ape.
 


i got it to run better the coil was messed up but now it still got a miss fire only when i launch hard it only one miss fire at 4500 rpms why would it do that maybe i should but in stock plugs and see what happens because its a stock motor with colder plugs i dont think i need it
 
Well if you would have actually read the safely modding thread a typed up and not just said you did...then you would know what correct plug size to run and what would be good for your setup, etc.
 
Oh ya I did read that you should reread it because it says 606/605 stock engine

Cooler the Spark Plugs, the lower your KR, but keep in mind, too cool of a plug will not always help you. 605/606’s are for a stock car, TR55/104’s are for small bolt-ons or basic 3.4” setups, TR6’s are for 3.25” Pulley range (Rockers, IC, etc.) and Autolite 103 Copper Core Race Plugs are for the extreme application 3.0” Pulley and smaller. Cost: $10-$20 appox.



So do your info before you post it and get mad when someone uses it
 
Are you kidding me? Your engine is stock. You need stock temp range plugs. Is it that hard to understand? Apparently you do need to go back to V8 cars because this boost thing is too much for your mind to handle. I would just like to know what you don't understand in my spark plug temperature range application...please explain to me how I didn't word it or understand it right.
 


605/606’s are for a stock car says it all fix your post thank you


i have a stock motor and you say 605 are for stock cars thank you for your posts
 
I still don't even get what your trying to argue with me about. Its whatever...your sentences make no sense anyways. Punctuation helps a ton. Let me make it even clearer for you.

If you have NO MODS: Autolite 606 or AC-DELCO replacements...or whatever else retarded plug you want to buy to toss in there.

Small Bolt-Ons Stock Pulley Size: Autolite 605's.

3.4" Setup and other supporting Mods: Autolite 104 Copper Plugs or NGK TR55's.

Smaller than a 3.4" Pulley yet not going under a 3.0": NGK TR6's.

Smaller than a 3.0" Pulley and for extreme builds: Autolite 103's.

So...since it is that hard to understand, I extended it even more. I went over my information and I see it as correct. But please, feel free to post the correct information below...since you know more and I'm wrong.

Thanks

but thanks car runs fine with 605s now coil was bad thanks for being such a super uber cool guy with the posts


let it go grow up
 


Jesus christ. Sorry your 606 to 605 plug is going to make a **** TON of difference. I just use it as a reference guide for basic modding. Do whatever you want...its your car.
