I did that once on my '00 too. Every year I check my plugs. regapped, put back together, running rough. Only took a couple seconds to figure it out but still thought to myself dumb ***.

it's a 2000, so no wires to cross for a misfire.....when I try and start it, it cranks, starts to run, shakes violently, then stalls.
in the Haynes manual it says to bring the #1 piston to "top dead center". I did this, but did not do it before I took everything apart. I did it before I put it back together. Not sure if that messed something up.
In about an hour I am going to go look everything over again.
