Sad…

So just recently I changed my spark plugs, and now I shake at idle and when I hit the gas I can hear a ticking from the pedal. Also my brakes have gotten squishy and I think it is due to the vacuum ball thing near the tire well on the passenger side. I know I suck so you don’t have to tell me lol

All this from spark change???? Did you do them one at a time or all at once?

So its possible you may have crossed some spark plug wires.

That would be my first guess.

The next thing I would check is the condition of the cables. Maybe during your handling of them something happened, which is more likely if they're old.

Look into the brake booster. It's possible the diaphragm let go and now you have a vacuum leak.
