Quick Q: Spark Plug order

[trydrew]

Im checking my plugs right now because im bored and I just want to check something. I noticed numbers on my stock spark plug wires and noticed that the didnt match up to the cylinder # that they were in. Some of them were, but some werent.

So are the numbers on the wires intended to match the cyl #'s?

And are the wires coming out of the coil intended to be matched up to the cylinders from left to right? Or are they in the three pairs on the pack to match the 2 firing cylinders?
Hopfully that makes sense.

the coil parks are from left to right and are as follows iirc. i used a knife and gently etched in the plastic the numbers
1,6 2,5 3,4

Oh firing order, match it with that on coil pack then numbers on the wires with cylinders

So let me get this right... I am supposed to put them on (wires to coil pack) in the order 1 6, 2 5, 3 4 ? Because thats not working :nono:

The little covers on the end of the plug wires dont all direct toward the middle any more. Im wondering now why the wires were switched around.

Edit: its 1 6, 3 4, 2 5 on the coil pack.

This is somewhat related...

What do you guys uses to get the screw/plugs off that are holding on the valley cover? I mean, what tool fits that hole?

Just to end your wondering...

A 14mm allen key. Bought mine off of eBay. Mine is attaches to a ratchet.
Or you can use a bolt with a 14mm head and have nuts that interlock each other on the other side and make your own "key".
