Looking for the firing order on my 99 jetta 2.0

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 firing order for a 1997 VW Jetta with a 2.0 liters engine is: 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 .
The number one cylinder on the cap is marked by the black dot in the picture below:

Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information of questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com!

See these items:-

The starter must have been bad due to the water.

Bad PCM or ignition coil.

Corroded battery cables.

See timing belt.

Good luck

You must verify your work.

1. Test for spark. Make sure the coil is producing spark.
2. Did you remove the plug wires one at a time? If not then check to make sure the firing order is correct.

I do not know if you have the 1.8L, 2.0L, or 2.8L; however I have included all three below.

For the 1.8L AND 2.0L:
Fire Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
.......(back)
1.....2......3......4
......(front)
Distributor:
....(back)
(+)..1
2.........3
......4..(+)-screw
...(front)

For the 2.8L:
Firing Order:
1-5-3-6-2-4
Cylinders:
........(back)
1.......3........5
....2........4........6 (bank offset)
........(front)
Ignition Coil Connections:
(back)
2...5
4...3
6...1

the firing order is 1-3-4-2..if you remove dizzy cap and look around top of of distributer you will see a small line etched in to the alluminium.when the rotor arm points at this you are on no 1 so no 1 on the dizzy cap will also line up with this.follow round in clockwise direction for 3-4-2. cheers

Firing order is 1  3  4  2  and start at one, (the top) go one at a time, and move in a clockwise rotation.  looks like this:
                                                                   1 
                                                            2              3                                                                        4
