You didn't tell me if you have a 6 cyl, 8 cyl or 4WD, so i'll give you a link where you can check the engine you have. Scroll down the page to Explorer and click on the engine you have...
that is true your firing order is wrong here is a link to a web sight that has all the 1998 explorers 6cyl just click on the one that your explorer is and it'll show you the correct firing order also make sure you have your plugs gaped right good luck.
