How do you put the spark plug wires back in the correct order if you forgot the right order by not marking them???

The oil should be labeled 1-6. The spark plugs on the front of the engine ( radiator side) are from the passenger to the drivers side 1-3-5. The cylinders on the back side of th engine are from passenger to the drivers side 2-4-6. Put the worse from the cylinder to the corresponding number on the coils. If your coils are not labeled I would need to know the eight letter of your vin number to get you the correct coil numbers.

Changed the plugs wires and cap and rotor...think I might have screwed the firing order up....no misfire just wont turn over.

the wires to the plugs should not keep the motor from cranking over. If the battery is fully charged the ignition switch should engage the starter. If you think the firing order is wrong you need to determine 1 where is top dead center (the position the motor is in when #1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke). 2 what direction does the rotor turn 3 what is the firing order One way to make it easy to rotate the motor is to remove the spark plugs. no compression means no resistance to the starter so the motor should turn over with the key in the start position. If it won't crank over with the plugs out then something is wrong with the starter, battery, starter relay, or ignition switch. I always start with the basics. the battery should have at least 12.5 volts. if it does check the battery terminals. even if the starter is weak you should hear a click when the key is turned to the start position. Once you get the starter to turn over the motor you can tell when the number one cylinder is at top dead center by putting a finger over the spark hole as you crank over. You will feel the compression as the cylinder comes up on the compression stroke. I have used a large socket to slowly turn the motor over and when you are near top dead center you should be able to see the degrees of advance on the timing mark. Set the motor at top dead center then see where the rotor lines up with the wires on the distributor cap. that is where number one cylinder should fire. You then follow around in the direction that the rotor turns and the wires will corispond with the firing order. I always make a mark on the number one spot on the cap with a felt pen. That way you have a fixed reference point. Take care to verify that all the wires are to the proper plugs before trying to start. Take extra care at this point and make sure your firing order and rotor rotation are correct. I would triple check this. The firing order and rotor direction are usually somewhere on the autozone repair web site

I need to find out the right order to put my spark plugs the firing order its a v 8 4.1 litter my brother got them all mixed up.

The firing order for a 4.1 V-8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Odd number pistons are on the driver's side, front to back and even numbers on the passenger's side front to back. The distributor turns counter-clockwise (backwards) and #1 piston is at 1 o'clock (close to the firewall). Hope this helps.

My car wont start,its not battery,just had tune

Is it acting like its out of gas. Also is it turning over but not starting. are u getting spark from ur spark plugs. When it was tuned up did the shopmess up the firing order of the distributor especially its a newer car. it could be teh fuel pump, filter etc. if its one of those its usually back by the tank. Also to see if ur getting spark u can pull a spark plug out plug it into one of the wires and set the spark plug on part of the engine and have someone turn it over u will see spark out of the end of it if u dont then thats ur problem. also it may be a relay. Overall u will want a manual so it can be pinpointed better also run some codes on it if u know how to.
