VW Jetta Carat 1989 spark plug firing order

1-3-4-2 The missing wire would be for the low oil pressure warning system. The #1 wire on the car is the one closest to the the engine, and the firing order goes 1-3-4-2 clockwise from that.

The starter must have been bad due to the water.

Bad PCM or ignition coil.

Corroded battery cables.

See timing belt.

I want to install fire ring spark plug cables on a 97 jeep wrangler 97, 4.0. I want to know in what order the cables go

Replace each wire individually from plug to distributor one at a time and they will be in the right order. Or make yourself a diagram before you start, very carefully marking the first one you take off the distributor and where it came from and where it goes. Hope this helps..

Engine misses at idle and after shifting (Jetta 97)

Did you by chance check the resistance of your plug wires? They have a tendency of breaking down over a period of time and need replaced. The spark plugs would have told you what was wrong with the engine many times.

97 Jetta will not start

Sounds like there's no spark. Change the ignition coil. This is a common solution for cars that won't start due to lack of spark. To check for spark, pull a spark plug wire and hold it near the manifold and have someone turn the key to crank. If you don't see an arc of spark coming from the wire, this would confirm your spark problem. Hope this answers your question.. Best of luck.
