So the car idles but isn't driveable?

I take it the engine gets proper air? (air filter).
Is your spark hot? When you replaced the plugs, did you replace the wires,
cap, etc as well (use OEM parts -- don't mess with the generic stuff -
nothing but trouble).
It could be fuel pressure related. (fuel pressure regulator - you'll need a
special gauge to check this).

hey "remco" i changed the air filter but i didnt think about changing the
wires and cap etc. on the spark plugs nor did i have the fuel pressure
regulator checked. i will look into that. thank you so much for the
advice. i took it to a mechanic today and they said it maybe an engine
problem. but i will keep your suggestion in mind when i go back to see
them. i dont know much about cars your suggestions are really helpful to
me. thanks again

You're welcome. Good -- hope it will not break your bank and get it fixed

Check/clean the TPS (throttle position sensor), and clean the MAF.
