I don't even have proof it's a 98, that's just what the guy said when I bought it. And he only had it for a few months and I can't tell the difference

Hey guys im back. I saved the money to change some of the things you guys guided me to. I couldnt find a MAF sensor at the local pullapart so i decided to start with the cheapest option that needed to be changed even if it wasnt the problem, which was the spark plugs. Ive never done any real work on cars so i watched a video on it and did pretty well. I did 1 spark plug at a time to insure i didnt get any wires mixed up. In between each change is started the car to see if it made a difference and all stayed the same as before. I got to my 4th plug, cylinder 2, on the back left and it was hard but i got it changed and started my car and it was all fine. Then came cylinder 4. I could not for the life of me get the heat shield and wire out of it and ended up accidentally brealing the wire. So i left and went to get new wires and let a friend of mine change out the last two spark plugs because hes more familliar with cars and i was running out of time. I got back and he said he changed them but one of the old plugs broke coming out but he still managed to get it out and put the new one in. I reconnected the last two wires and changed only the one i broke. I started the car and it started clunking and sputtering and idling rough as hell. It slightly resembled how the idle was before but it was much louder and shook the car a whole lot. I checked all the wires and all was good. I changed out the wires for all 3 of the back plugs and it didnt help. My friend said the timing is probably off but i have no idea if it is or how to fix that. At this point im simply trying to get it to return to its previous less messed up state. Should i change the coil packs? Or change the remaining wires? Or redo the last 2 plugs myself? Im only 17 and dont make a whole lot of money so spending $200 only to make my car worse is kinda pissing me off. Let me know if you can help
