Cracked spark plug or a boot that fell off. I've seen it 100000x times.

2 clicks on each plug. double check all wiring. make sure the coolant temp sensor is hooked back up too.

You need a toddler hand to get back to those plugs. Get some...Ok, I know this will sound horrible, but I did it. Get some vasoline and wipe it on your hand where it would cause an issue. Don't get it on your finger tips though, or you will be fuxxd.

I dont know whats worse, the fact that one of you is using vaseline while working on your car or that the other guy has access to a picture like that.
