i did not wanted him to come When using this negatave structure, the "do" handles the tense business, not the main verb. (The main verb remains in the bare infinitive form.)
I do not want him to come.
She does not want him to come.
I did not want him to come.
We did not want him to com

You cannot have two d-markers in the same verb phrase. Only the first verb takes the marker.
I did not wanted him to come - Wrong.
I did not want him to come. - Right.
