Default Checked Spark plugs now car misses bad PLEASE HELP

Ok so I bought this integra yesterday, went for a test drive in it everything was good and what not. Went to check to plugs checked everyone and got in the car at first it did not seem like it was missing got onto the highway and the car just started hesitating/missing everything time I gave it gas.

Do you think we maybe cracked a spark plug while changing the plugs because it was a bitch to the get the extension with the 5/8s on it off of the plug and you had to wiggle it.

Do you think it is possible that we cross threaded a plug.

The wires are good and in the correct order if anyone has any opinion on what it could be let me know. I am about to go try new plugs now.

are the plugs tight? and what kind of plugs and wires are they? if either are anything but ngk, that could be the problem. if the car has autozone etc. wires, they might have fallen apart, or are just crappy. what kinds of parts are we talkin about here?

Check to make sure a connector on the plug wire isn't bent. In simple terms make sure the plug wires metal piece is going over the spark plug.

well you know that whatever the problem is, is directly related to whatever you did to the car, so start from there first, plugs, wires, etc

when u pulled the plugs off did u also pull the wires too? (removed from distributor) if u did maybe they werent put back in correct order and now firring is off...
or
when re installing the plugs did u drop them in or gently place them bak in...if dropped the gap might have changed or closed completly and cause misfire
