Something didn't get hooked back up. Retrace your steps. If it was running before, and all you did was replace the plugs, it should run afterwards. Plug wires in the right order? Wiring harness connections to the coil packs tight?

plugs gapped right? Did you buddy at the parts store close all the gaps to see if you check them? (I have personally seen this happen, but it was 20 years ago!)

idk if they changed it but my 96 5fvfe calls for dual point plugs. I changed them once and didn’t check first and truck idle like poop.

You do not gap double electrode plugs period, they are designed for the 3.4L 5vz-fe, pretty sure only NGK and Denso make Plugs specifically for the 5vz-fe. Also those clips that hold the wire on the Coils and the boot to Plug need to be checked for proper connection and changed if worn out.
