there should be a firing order sticker on the underside of your bonnet someplace. and there should be a number marked on the dizzy cap and an arrow. On mine i think its a number 6 and the arrow points counter clockwise (im not 100% certain though)

firing order i think is 153624

so that should make it 624 153 on the dizzy in a counter clockwise motion. 3 being the lead before 6

this is from memory though so confirm it first lol

Ok, looked at the dizzy and it has numbers for every one but i don't know what those numbers corrospond to on the plugs. Is it just a straight line up or down the engine?

I got this somewhere:
1-6-3-4-2-5 is the spark plug order
1-5-3-6-2-4 is the firing order

Why is this so confusing to me.
Ok, one big thing is this pic i shot before i took the plugs out, showed a plug marked "1" (no other plugs are marked) is in the position circled. I know that that plug is supposed to be there.

The plug marked 1 is plugged into the #4 plug on the dizzy and is plugged into the second plug from the front of the engine. This doesn't lign up with any other numbers ive been given.

BTW i hate how the damn intake mani is right in the way of everything here.

the number 1 plug is the one closest to the radiator or the front of the car. they go in order all the way to the farest plug back #6 which is closest to the firewall.

Okay, i got it started and running but now i have another problem.
The car doesn't seem to want to idle. It runs good and smooth above idle but it just idles kinda funny. Like i have aggressive cams or something up and down real fast from like 500-800rpm, and that is if i hold the pedal to make it stay running.
I also hear a hissing from the engine too.
What could be causing this?

BTW, no codes except the usual 52, wich was fixed but the wires came loose. I only tested it when it was off tho.

you did tighten all the plugs fully didnt you?? perhaps your intake gasket could have failed. the one between the throttle body and intake manifold.

Also if you took the battery off then the ecu may need to be set up again. try going for a drive for about 15 - 20 minutes

yah sry, i was in a hurry.
First off, one of the plugs were messed up.
Then i forgot to bolt in this thing that goes into the side of the manifold near the firewall. It was like 1.5 inch wide.
