do you mean firing order?if so and you have a buick engine it is
starting with the driver side cyl 1-3-5-7 the passenger side is 2-4-6-8.line up your crank shaft on the mark it has to be on compression stroke the wires go 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. let me know how you do .

if starter fluid made it chug, I would suspect fuel pump fuse, relay or pump, also fuel filter.
