HELP READ PLEASE
+1 check the connections and make sure all the coil are secure. It sounds like something is not connected properly. Is there any chance you could have damaged a plug while cleaning them? If it's back firing and running rough you may be dead holing. Which would mean a plug is not firing for some reason. If you can't find a loose connection you may need to pull the plugs agian and check them, maybe you damaged something and didn't realize it.
I dont know if it matters putting the same plug back in the same spot, i have only pulling mine 1 and a time to inspect, i didnt clean them though just made sure they were not to messed up and I could get them out.
i'll recheck everything in the morning, the gap on the sparkplugs can't be changed, it's not a regular plug. i have no idea whats going on
i checked every connectionc and seems fine to me.

I would think if it was a spark plug not firing issue that you would get codes for misfires on that certain cylinder.
Im going with something not plugged in all the way.....

You could have damaged a plug or if something is indeed not connected properly dead holing the engine isn't a good thing. If you can't figure it out in the morning take it to a mechanic. You don't want to be driving it around like that too much.
I believe there is a specific tool used to gap these plugs.

do you think i should take the intake and tune off the car if i take it to ford? i work for a mazda dealership and i know some ppl in a ford dealer but i don't know if i want to drive it all the way like that.
