Need Help Asap

[TTVR4]

I have just change the plugs and leads in my baby. and didn't take notice of which lead went to which rear plug. it looks pretty user friendly but i need a second opinion before reassembly..

 

[Guest]

You will need to find out what coil pack goes to what spark plug. Have you got a picture of your engine bay and I will be able to direct you from there if needed.

 

[TTVR4]

nah i dont have a pick without the engine cover..
i am up shit creek without a paddle right now

 

[SiliconAngel]

Rob aren't all the leads different lengths? Or did you just pull EVERYTHING off all at once?? While I'd love to help, I'm not real big on ripping my intake off tonight...

 

[TTVR4]

i just ripped them out in a hurry so i could get to the north side and get the new one made.
i dont think manifolds will need to ripped off just the engine cover and then track them with a torch. :S

 

[Guest]

ok does your phone have a camera send me a pm for my number and i may be able to direct you from there.

 

[TTVR4]

does anyone know the firing order of these babies?

 

[naughtika]

as far as i remember theyre 1-2 3-4 5-6.. but don't take my word for it..

ask Frozen, he had this same dilemma before too..

 

[Guest]

yeah your right Christiandel but the question is what cylinder is number one?

 

[TTVR4]

the leads are not long enough for that sequence

 

[TTVR4]

1,6,5,4,3,2 maybe this is a buick v6 order. the leads will reach this. but mmmmm
is it right

 

[TTVR4]

from what i have neeb told number 1 is the front cylinder front bank.

 

[Guest]

ok try this ........ connect the coil to the spark plug opposite it on the other cylinder bank (via spark lead). Start the car if it is wrong the car will be hard to start or will run ruff. Let me know if this dosnt work. I have another theory but it is unlikely to be right.

 

[Guest]

standing at the front of the engine, looking at the cam belt covers, the pistons are 1 front left, 2 front right, 3 mid left, 4 mid right, 5 rear left, 6 rear right.

the leads go from 1/4, 2/5, 3/6.

 

[TTVR4]

how do you mean.. front to front, middle to middle, back to back

 

[TTVR4]

thats what i thought
i will give it a try, now i have somone else thinking the same

 

[Guest]

no, 1/4 is front left to middle right, 2/5 is front right to rear left, and 3/6 is middle left to rear right.

edit: thought you were asking me, disregard that..

 

[Guest]

yep thats what I thought Robert from some pics on Club VR4 but I would trust someone with more experience with the real thing.

 

[TTVR4]

yeah mate that is the bomb.... now i am thinking straight and have proven to myself which is the leading bank, i am going to put it together now. will let you all know how it goes

 

[TTVR4]

all good guys, she is a goer
thanx for the help
