Wow, I almost gave up & called a mobile mechanic. Your approach/technic made a huge difference. What I would recommended is that one use electricians tap to secure the starter end. TY
1 in the front 4 in the back i put my wires in first one at at time then fed the loom on from top to bottom a lil at a time then plug into the coils and pulled into place got youe idea but not clear but the lil advice went a mile thank you thank you very much tnt
I think the manual shows the wiring diagram/sequence of the spark plugs firing order. My vehicle 2.2L 4 cylinder shows the sequence as 1 3 4 2 not 1 2 3 4 the first 2 wires are exactly the same length, the 3rd wire is slightly longer and the 4th wire of course is the longest wire. Connect the first wire to post #1 on the coil, the second wire on the second plug goes to the #3 post on the coil, the third wire connects to #4 post on the coil and the long wire (4) connects to #2 post on the coil. That's the correct firing sequence for this engine. 1 3 4 2
Just started replacing my wires. Man, who thought putting four plug wires in that little gap was smart? Plug wires are supposed to be a beginner type job...
The firing sequence for 2.2L 4 cylinder is 1 3 4 2 The coil has 2 specific sections 1 & 4 are located in one section 2 & 3 are together on the other section of the coil. On the topside of the engine looking at the spark plugs front to back it's 1 3 4 2 (not 1234) the coil should have numbers located near the post of that wire coming down from the spark plugs on topside. Connect each wire according to the plug number sequence and you should be ready to start.
@G WOOD this was so long ago that I was confused what you were on about for a sec. I found some diagrams online a few hours after asking this question and I got it figured out. Thanks for your explanation though. That was a bit easier to understand than the diagrams initially were

I am about to start the replacement. I think this video will help a lot. Thanks.

Do the numbers on the coil pack correspond to the cylinder they are supposed to go to or the order that they fire in?
