Default whats wrong with my baby

i was driving my car the other day and i parked it for about an hour. i came back out and started it up and it was chugging and sputtering real bad. i drove it up the stret to my house. the next day i started it up and it did the same thing so i got new plug wires new plugs and a new cap and rotor. it did nothing. the guy at the shop took all the plug wires off when it was running one by one and all but the # 1 cyllinder reacted, when he took the wire off the idol lowered and it ran like **** but when he took off the #1 wire the idol stayed the same. what could this be please help i need my baby back to normal

That shouldn't be able to cause any symptoms like the ones he described.

You pretty much replaced all the ignition components it could be. Go pull the #1 spark plug and stick the plug into the wire. Then touch the ground strap of the spark plug to a bare part of the spark plug or another grounding spot and see if the spark plug makes a bright blue spark. If it does, check the connector for the fuel injector. If it's secure, pull the fuel injector and see if it's working or if it's clogged.
