I changed the cylinder 1 spark plug of my vehicle. It's turning over but it won't stay on. And it's makes a squeaky gasping for air noise before it shuts off. It was staying on before I changed the spark plug.

Was there a reason that you only changed one spark plug? The reason I ask is there is probably more to the story. The fact that it will not stay running sounds like there is a sensor unplugged where the engine doesn't know how much air is coming in so it stalls the engine.

Did you unhook anything else when doing this? I would suggest going over what you did again and just make sure nothing is unhooked because just the plug would not cause this. You can complete unhook the plug and the engine will still run so it sounds like a greater issue.
