Unhappy Changed plugs and wires, but now there's a bad popping noise. (video)

I also posted in the general help and truck forums, but figured someone in here might be able to help also. I changed the plugs and wires on my 2000 Explorer and now I have a horrible popping noise coming from the intake area. The plugs and wires are tight, so it isn't arcing that you're hearing. Could I have pulled something else loose getting the old wires out? I'm clueless but I need to get it fixed. Thanks.

Video isn't working but that's generally an indication of a crossed wire - I'm not familiar with the explorer set up so is that a possibility?

You were right, the manual I was using (Haynes) had the plug wires and cyl #'s all wrong. Runs great now; thanks for the quick response.
