Firing order changed plugs and wired for daughters 1998 ford explorer sport 6cyl not shov and runs rough I think I may have wrong order

Check fuel pump output pressure.

Are plug wires connected in the right firing order to the plugs? Also are the spark plugs gap correct? Was vehicle running rough before tune up or only after?

You probably put the wires back on the wrong plugs check the firing order

what code are you getting when you check the obd2 computer usually the problem when an ford engine runs ruff check the tps sensor which is on the side of the throttle body opposite of the throttle cables tps stands for (throttle possitioning sensor)

New plugs and wires?

Double check to make sure that you've got the routing and firing order right... if you have 2 switched, the car may still idle well but then pop and sputter on harder acceleration.

The next step would be to run some "Complete Fuel System Cleaner"... If that's the problem, you should see results within 20 miles or so.

To avoid confusion, tag and remove the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes to reflect how your engine is wired.

I hope help you with this, Good luck (remember rated this help).

check firing order that you put the wires on right then 1 at a time pluck the wires off and replace them when you do this each one it will make the motor shake a bit more, keep checking till you pluck on the wire that shows no change in the running condition and check that wire and plug to see witch one is bad

go on line and type in fireing order on 1997 explorer

could be a wire crossed, or it's out of time. since you used motorcraft plugs, did you set them properly to the correct gap? replacing plugs without gapping them can cause the sluggishness, out of time can cause the mis-fires and rough running.
