Unfortunatley, my Haynes manual seems to reiterate not to remove all the spark plug wires at once, but doesn't seem to tell you what the firing order is, unless I just haven't found it yet. If the car wasn't misfiring before as you imply, I would probably tell that friend to keep his grubby fingers off your mom's car from now on. It isn't difficult to change spark plug wires, however mixing up the wires or replacing the wires incorrectly has the potential to throw a rod through the block and destroy an engine. -rj 98SL2 |
