I think I made a mistake. I might of crossed my plug wires. I was replacing my ignition coil, and I thought I had the wires correct but when I started the car it started to idle rough and it was bucking when I put it in drive. Now I dont know which wire goes to which. Is there a diagram here somewhere where it will show me where each goes? Thanks.

According to the manual for a 97 Explorer, it should be

4 5 6
3 2 1
[plug side]

for both the SOHC and OHV motors.

That changed in 98, where it became

4 6 5
3 2 1
[plug side]

for the SOHC, but the OHV was still

4 5 6
3 2 1
[plug side]

Clear as mud?
