Re: I need to know the firing sequence of the spark plugs...
Firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2; if you're facing the engine from the front of the vehicle, the cylinders are numbered 1-3-5 from left to right across the back, 2-4-6 left to right across the front.

On your smart phones browser put in Make, model, 3.2 engine firing order. It will bring back the firing order sequence and from that you should be able to figure out the wiring sequence and which wire goes to which plug. All you need to know is where the number one plug is on the coil pack.
Double check the spark plug wire firing order. The cylinder have to have voltage in a certain order. If you do not have a motor manual you can google for this information. just write for example: 2002 ford taurus 6 cylinder spark plug firing order. The firing order goes in sequence usually in a clockwise direction. For example: 1, 5, 3 ,6 2, 4 in a clockwise order. spark plug #1 wire goes to the coil then spark plug #5 wire goes on the coil in a clockwise rotation, next to where spark plug # 1 was connected. This would mean that spark plug number 1 will fire (or get voltage), then spark plug nuimber 5 will fire (get voltage), then spark plug number 3 and so on. The sequence will continue to happen over and over again as long as the car is on. Here's another tip! When it nice and dark outside, turn your car on with the hood open and look at your spark plug wires for any voltage jumping from the wires to the motor metal. Keep in mind you may have to tent yourself with a cardboard to see the voltage arcing to metal. It has too be super dark for you too see this fault. Any arcing will cause your engine to misfire and your engine light to come on. Hope this gives you a starting point to finding the problem. Good Luck.
The best way would be to obtain a firing order diagram and go by that. You can probably look at the diagram somewhere online for nothing. Crossed wires are a pain to guess at.
Hi,
I don't know your engine size, but the link below is a picture of the GM small block firing order with distributor.
The firing order, which should be cast into the intake manifold, for the chevy small block V8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The firing order is the numerical sequence in which the spark plugs are fired. The insertion position of each spark plug wire around the circumference of the distributor cap can be found according to a clock face. The insertion sequence determines the firing order. The firing order is followed clockwise around the distributor cap starting from the 6:30 position with the 6:30 position being the number one cylinder spark plug wire.
hi there, you need to make sure all wires to spark plugs are tight and very snug, you will also need to check the distributer cap to make sure no burns are on it, and make sure the plugs are in proper firing positions, the spark rotation might be out of sequence.....also make sure spark plugs are clean of all oil, and dirt, firing pin in distributer cap might be bad.....hope this helps....shia
It would be great if you could find the Ignition Control Module!!! From my experience on my Jeep...90 YJ 4.2 liter carb. it does not have one...Computer controlled only...
