I had to check again because it didn't make sense. I used one wire and one sparkplug to check all 6 for spark and 1-3-2 were very weak compared to the other 3 which had weak spark. Most of the time they would not fire (1-3-2). I'll be putting on a good set of coil packs and ignitor on Tuesday.

ignitor is NOT the problem. If it was. You would have a pair (1&6, 2&5 or 3&4) not firing. Odd that each of the coil packs has ONE output that is botched.

Someone please tell me that I dont have my wires crossed. Last word that I got was the wires were 1-5-3-6-2-4

Is this correct or has this been my problem all along.

Ok. The reason I was asking is because when I had my engine built. The guy wrote the Firing order on the top of my coils.

WHICH IS 1-5-3-6-2-4

So it this wrong or right.....
A simple yes or no will do.

Thanks
Robert

THANK YOU.....THANK YOU.....THANK YOU

That was my Problem. Firing order was all Screwed up. Now she isnt poping or hesitating or anything like that. Runs like a champ.

Thank you all for the Information. You are a blessing to us all

Firing order and coil pack order are NOT THE SAME. Coil pack is 1 6 3 4 2 5, firing order is 1 5 3 6 2 4.

Agreed!

The firing order is actually

1 & 6, 5 & 2, 3 & 4, 6 & 1, 2 & 5, 4 & 3

As the 7M-GTE is a waisted spark setup. The wires plug in 1,6,3,4,2,5 though.
