I recently attempted to tune up my ignition in preparation for an out of town excursion. I was going to change my spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, but I did not have the necessary socket to remove the plugs. I decided to change out the wires, cap, and rotors. When I restarted the engine when I finished, and it started to stumble and surge. I am guessing that I put one of the wires in the wrong spot, but since I have not found any info on the wiring from the distributor to the block. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks again. |

Firing order for ignition leads
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
location of No 1 Cylinder Pulley end left ( left as seen driver's seat - odd numbers on left bank, evens on right)
NOTE :The drivers seat may be opposite on US models as this info is for Australian and UK markets, But I presume that the engine is the same so you may have to use your passanger seat instead.
I hope this helps |

On US models, #1 is near the oil filler cap. #2 is on the opposite side,next to the coolant reservoir #3 is back on oil filler side, and so forth until you get to #8, reservoir side, near the firewall. |

Do you guys think that it could also be caused because I changed everything BUT the plugs? |

Also, how about wiring order on the distributor cap? Thanks again! |

Look for a tab on the underside of the cap and start counting from there. |
