Ok, I know I did something stupid and I will never do it again.. Im smarter then that. but I still have an issue and im asking for help. I had to changed out my rotor so I went ahead and changed my spark plugs at the same time. and here is what I did. I pulled the spark plugs and and rotor. and yes. I forgot to label them.. I have a 1.5. and I hooked it up how I thougt it went but now my car is sputtering. and over reving some times so I think I messed up.. can anyone give me a hand.. thanks

Do u mean spark plug wires?

Only thing u could mix up when changing your cap, rotor, and plugs...

Could also be u got the wrong plugs or set the wrong gap...

Not sure the exact plugs for your car, but Id go with NGKs if u havnt... And the gap should be .040 (atleast on most of the Honda engines Ive seen)...
