Ok.  Heres what I did, and cant figure this out.

My car has been feelin kinda jumpy since I put a fresh
pair of wires and plugs in my 240.

I used NGK V-plugs, and (temporarily till my NGK wires come), I bought these Super-Magcore or SuperMag Wires from Pepboys.  

What is the possiblities for the car to mimic bad wires and plugs after I put fresh ones in?

Thanks again .

P.S.  The old plugs were aged normally, no abnormal discolor or wear.

did you make sure you put the plug wires on in the right order??  Also make sure that your got the plugs wire boots got seated good on the plugs.  They should "Snap" into place.

if that doesnt help then a new fuel filter might do the trick

Check your motor mounts.  If they are gone that will cause a lack in acceleration too.  Mine were shot and the motor had a lot of play.  When I rev the engine the motor moved a lot to the point it was scary.
