There are 2 6 cylinder engines for that year. Both are the same as far as wiring/firing order but gave you both anyway(see below). There have been times that I thought I did the same thing as far as the firing order and have been doing it for 25+ years. Sometime i did and sometimes I didn't. So if you find the wiring is correct and you seem to have a miss, In about 90 percent of the time that this has happened to me I had knock a vacuum hose off so you might want to start there if they are right. It sure sounded like a miss at those times but was vacuum. There are other factors but that's where I would start if this is the case. I hope this helps and good luck.

there is 2 fuses that you have to check
one will be in the big fuse assembly in the engine bay, the other probably in the fuse assembly in the cab
If they prove ok then it is possible that the coolant temperature SENSOR is faulty and needs replacing
don't confuse it with the temperature sender which operates the temp gauge.
