nah pulling the battery isnt really necessary but was just asking because if you did you have to wait for the ECU to reset itself after plugging in. It usually runs like crap after you do.

Hmm this is weird then. Too bad I cant watch your vid while im at work. Check any other connections you played with (although there really shouldnt be any).
 
Easiest way to find out which cylinder isnt firing right is to start it up the individually pull an injector plug wire off. Pull the first one and if it sounds worse then put it back on and move to the next one. When you pull an injector wire and the motor sounds like its running the same or almost exactly the same then you know which cylinder your having a problem with.
 
Just double check to make sure you pushed all of your plug wires on all the way. You might just have an issue with a wire not contacting the plug or the coil pack.
