I need the firing order pattern for a 97 ford explorer 4.0 single cam overhead

The torque specification for the rocker shafts on the 2001 Hyundai Accent with the 1.5L single overhead cam engine is 18-20 lb-ft. The proper torque sequence is as follows:

1. Tighten the bolts to 8 lb-ft in a crosswise pattern.
2. Increase the torque to 15 lb-ft, again in a crosswise pattern.
3. Finally, tighten the bolts to the full torque of 18-20 lb-ft, again in a crosswise pattern.

Make sure to use a torque wrench and follow the sequence carefully to ensure proper tightening and prevent damage.

The good news is you can use the same data the dealers use the bad news is, it is not free. Hyundai Service Website (hyundaitechinfo.com)

If the wiring harness is the same it should. I have changed them out before and it worked but all are not identical.

There are three engines used in a 97 model. The 4.0 single overhead cam V6 engine uses a timing chain in the front and in the rear, one for each cam. The left side is in the front and the right side is in the back. You would have to take the engine out to access the rear chain.
The 4.0 overhead valve engine and the V8 engine only have one chain in the front.

all Saturns for that year came out with a 1.9 liter engine. There was only one model that was different and had a single overhead cam. The rest had a duel overhead cam. The firing order is the same in both so you are in luck (see picture below). I hope this helps and good luck.

1-3-4-2
there are 2 coil setups. single overhead cam is like this:




Dual overhead cam is like this:

According to Saturn timing specifications, the internal firing order for the Saturn 1.9L motor, both Single overhead cam, or Twin cam is as follows:
Left to right 1-3-4-2

If you are routing spark plug wires, and need to know the order of wires from the coils to the engine, the order is as follows:
Left to right 4-1-2-3

My sincere apologies for the delayed response.
I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions.
I do not know if you have the 1.6L or 2.0L Engine or if your engine has the Overhead Cam or not. I have included all the Diagrams below.

For the 1.6L:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1.....2.....3.....4
(front of engine)
Distributor:
(back)
..(+)-screw
............2
1
.................4
........3
...............(+)-screw
(front)

For the 2.0L WITHOUT the Overhead Cam:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1......2......3......4
(front of engine)
Distributor:
......(back)
........4
2..........(+)-screw
(+)..........3
......1
....(front)

For the 2.0L WITH the Overhead Cam:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1......2.....3......4
(front of engine)
Ignition Connections:
........(back)
...o <---4
......o <---1
...............
.......o <----3
..........o <----2
.........(front)

Again my apologies...
Let me know if this helped...

need to know which four cylinder you have. single or dual overhead cam.

The firing order of your 2.0L is 1-3-4-2.
