What should you do if your spark plug wires burned up then you replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug wires and it still runs like its only on 2 or 3 cylinders?

It is critical that the wires go from the PROPER terminal "tower" on the distributor to the PROPER plug.
You will need to get a diagram of the proper terminal tower wiring number pattern, and the proper spark plug numbering sequence in order to reinstall the plug wires correctly.
You may be able to borrow a repair manual for your make, model, and engine at your local library. IF NOT, you can usually buy a manual at any one of your local auto parts stores. Good luck!
You may have bad plugs as well CheckSpark can evaluate plugs and wires in seconds, works on all engines with plugs and wires new or old big or small.

350 Chevy not running on all cylinders?
Start by testing the compression. It should be consistent within a few PSI on each cylinder. Any cylinders that have little or no compression probably have a burned valve. If all cylinders are up, check the plugs, wiring and distributor.
If spark plugs are replaced and then the coils cylinders and spark plugs get fried is this due to poor installation?
no. a hammer is a good way to fix it
Why would a car not have all the cylinders firing even after replacing the spark plugs and wires?
You distributor cap and rotor should also be replaced. If still no spark. check the compression on the low cylinders to see if you have good compression.

How do you fix a miss fire in cylinder 5 and 6 on my ford expedition?
If you have an engine code that is saying misfire on these cylinders it is usually a bad coil on the plugs of those cylinders. You are probably going to need to have them replaced. Check and replace the plugs if necessary.

With a socket for removing plugs. The wires should just slip off and need to be replaced with the exact same length.
What else could be wrong if 2 cylinders are misfiring after getting water into the motor through the intake after the spark plugs and ignition coils have been replaced and it is still misfiring?
I really hate to be the one to tell you the bad news but it is possible that you have bent some valves. Take the spark plugs out of the missing cylinders and run a compression check on those two.
