im getting reddish spark from plug wire

ok i got a 89 t/a gta and one day a few months back i started my car and it was squeeling and making a clunking noise and i got it home (up the street) and noticed that the smog pump seized up cause when i was trying to start it it would barely turn over, so i took the belt off to try to start it and it will turn over but it dosent seem to turn over fast enough, and i bought a new battery and still nothing. i sprayed starter fluid in the throttle body and that didnt do anything so i took a spark plug wire off and put a screwdriver in it and im getting a orange-red color spark..if anyone has any ideas pleeaaaasssse let me know i miss driving her....thanks
