Firering order for plugs and distributer module

recheck wiring placement probably replaced incorrectly Ford Ranger Bronco II 2 9 liter Engines this link will assist in firing order

with the polarity reversed I suspect that you should be checking the ECM for operation as they fry easily from wrong polarity

Retrace the plug wire`s you have the firing Order off Take your Time Recheck Firing Order And Plug Wirer Positions to Cylinder to firing order

If the wires are still in the distributer, AND, if you have a stock intake manifold, the firing order is on the manifold. If it's a V-8, the number 1, 3, 5, & 7 plugs are on the drivers side of the engine. The number 2, 4, 6, & 8 plugs are on the passenger side. The number 1 plug wire can be located by looking at the distributer from the front of the engine and visually looking between the distributer and the number 1 plug. Visualize the distributer as a clock. The number one position should be located between 4 and 5 o'clock and should have the longest wire of those on that side of the distributer.

If the wires have been pulled from the distributer, then, then, remove the rotor cap, turn the engine over slowly until the rotor is pointing to the number 1 plug. Using the firing order on the intake manifold, starting with number 1, replace the wires going clockwise around the distributer.

The postion of the #1 plugwire may not be the same as factory origional location, and that is not necessarily an issue....
Pull the # 1 spark plug, ground coil wire, put your finger over the plug hole and have a helper bump the starter over in short bursts.

When on the compression stroke, lots of air wants to rush out of the plug hole. This may take a few times before you get it, then look at the timing marks, to be sure you are close.... Then pull the distributer cap and the rotor will be pointing to the #1 plug wire position.

Hi, this may be a dirty injector. Try putting some injector cleaner in the gas tank to see if that will clear it up. If not, you may need to pull up the fuel rail and check the injector flow pattern.

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.

engines have a fireing order for each piston like 18436572 for an eight cylinder the distributer cap will have eight spark plug wire connections starting with number one connect plug wire to number one cylinder then moveing clockwise around the capconnect plug wire to the number eight cylinder untill all wires are connected in order to the right cylinder

Wires just pull out of the top of the cap. Do them one at a time and you won't have a problem putting them back.(they just push into each hole.)

make sure that the right cap goes to the right plug. they are specific to firing order.
