Kinda like if you were to have the brakes on and let off the gas but hold the brakes lightly. Kinda like the vehicle is decelerating too fast?

Check the fluid level first before you drive it agian to make sure you dont cause more damage if there is a issue with the transmission.

Does it jerk or is it smooth. Just that sudden decel feeling?

Have the vehicle quickly scanned up by autozone and see if a code is hiding. Did you ever check the transmission fluid level? This all started after you changed plugs and wires? Make sure you ddint acidently bump a sensor or damage a wiring harness where you were working.

Also were the caps set properly on the plugs?

Hows car perform under heavy acceleration?

The Transmission fluid is full and bright red there are no codes I check it automatically through the climate control because my car is a 93 and autozone only does 96 cars and newer but there are no code and the car runs great under heavy acceleration and this problem has been like this since the transmission was rebuilt 3 months ago the car had a bad misfire the spark plugs were fouled and the wires were bad so replaced all that the car doesn't misfire anymore just that little kick under light acceleration and a little sluggish could it be the tv cable?
