Sounds like you have a bad misfire for some reason. Start out having the code read and see if they can isolate which cylinders.

If you changed the wires, you'd better double check your firing order. Could have a bad coil too.

You still need to check the firing order.

Once the firing order is verified, see what the fuel pressure is with a gauge.
