Your trailing spark plug wires are installed incorrectly.
The Leading coil(front of car) ,the wires can be switched on the plugs and the car will run FINE as the Leading plugs fire at the same time.
BUT the Trailing coil( near the brake master/driver's side strut tower) need to have It's wire go to the Correct plug or you get a backfire as they fire just slightly off from each other.,.
SO..Look at the COILS and you will see the terminals have designated markings...(look at engine as Front is pulleys..back is trans)
Leading plug wires from coil: L1 goes to Front LOWER spark Plug...L2 to the lower Rear Plug
Trailing plug wires from Coil: T1 to TOP spark plug..and of course the last one T2 to the Top Rear plug.
