Spark plug problem?

So I just changed my spark plugs and for the first time I used Bosch Platinum 2+'s and when I start the car it idles for a second at about 1100~ then will get rough and head down till it dies. Pretty sure I didn't screw anything up but then again maybe I did... anyone have idea what the problem might be? This is on a 1999 2.8

did you by any chance mix up a few wires? Double check the plug leads, making sure you have them in the correct order.

Someone (Me) was stupid and forgot to make sure that the airbox was connected to the hose that goes to the engine. Put it back and it started right up.
