I am a total dumb ass. Forgot the order of the front spark plug wires. Tried to do different combos but nothing is working right. Can someone tell me from left to right what the numbers are? Would really help.

OH I have the 3400 SFI V6 sorry.

the order of the cylinders from pass side to drivers is 2 4 6 and the order of the wires should be labled on the ignition thingy. hope this helps.

You washed your engine bay without covering the computer and alternator?

Yes they were covered. Water got on some of the wires under the car causing it to glitch out. This has happend before no big deal. Car is running now and sounds great. Found that 4 of my 6 wires were damaged bad. Could bad wires cause bad MPG?

replace them they're inexpensive plus if you start misfiring you'll throw engine codes

Quoted post


I've never covered my alternator or computer when washing it. The car works fine.

It can cause problems. I say if you are going to do that unhook the battery and leave it unconnected for 24 hours, so everything can dry out before power is restored to it.

I didn't get that far this weekend. I got my whole back seat out, intake fixed, spark plug wires fixed and I started on the prep to make the fiberglass units for my back seat and trunk. That is all I am giving away on that project. Pics will be posted at the end of summer when its all done. I will have to get to the engien next days off.
