Need a little more info: (running like total asshole says nothing)
1. First off, I'm assuming this is a GS-T or GSX (year ? )since you say it sounds like its running an open downpipe?
2. Is it running really rough? Describe it
3. So you're saying it ran fine until you changed the plugs and wires?
4. What kind of plugs did you buy?
5. What kind of wires did you buy?
6. Are you 100% sure you have the wires in the exact order they should be? If so, go recheck them again. If you're not sure, I'll try to give you the order they should be in.
7. What caused the injector wires to melt?? There has to be a reason.

Just for starters. From there, people may be able to help you

You also might want to change the belts. My friend has a 97 RS and his car started to run like ass, so we replace all of the plugs and wires and it didn't do anything. What it was the serpintine belt was almost gone. Try to replace that, especially if you're near or over 80k miles. It only costs $5-10.

also how it is running is it will get power if i keep some throttle on it but if i give it too much it backfires to hell and like when i put it in gear it will hardley gets power unless i give it full throttle to take off and when im driving like i said i cant lose any throttle power or give it to much its like its gotta be just right.....could belts cause it to do
that?

Yes, that is what happened to his RS, when you would try to take off slow it would sputter and feel like it was going to die, and it would backfire under full throttle and when you tried to take off slowly.
