There are 2 different V6 engines used in this year of Van, a 3.3 liter and a 3.8 liter. The diagram and firing order is the same for both engines. Below is the diagram from the service manual and the firing order.

    What could I have "fried" in an "over heat", that would make the engine run badly? I know it's a broad question, just thought you might know of a common issue..
    Plugs don't seem to be the issue.

How to connect spark plug wires on my Renault Kangoo II 2010 (4-cil 8v petrol)

Connecting new spark plug wires on your Renault Kangoo II 2010 (4-cil 8v petrol) can be a bit tricky, as the correct order and routing of the wires is important for the engine to run properly. Here is a general guideline on how to connect the spark plug wires:
  1. Locate the coil pack. It is typically located near the engine, and it is a rectangular housing with four spark plug wires connected to it.
  2. Remove the old spark plug wires. Carefully remove the old wires from the coil pack by pulling them straight off.
  3. Label the wires. Before you remove the old wires, it is helpful to label them so you know where they came from. This will make it easier to connect the new wires in the correct order.
  4. Connect the new wires. Carefully connect the new spark plug wires to the coil pack. Make sure to connect them to the correct spark plug tower on the coil pack, and route them correctly.
  5. Start the engine. After connecting the new wires, start the engine and check for any misfires or problems.
It's important to have a good understanding of the engine and the spark plug system, and to be familiar with the tools and materials needed to do the job properly.
It's also important to refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions on how to connect the spark plug wires, as the order and routing of the wires can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle.

Replaced sparkplugs and sparkplug wires, now runs rough. I checked connections all tight. check firing orger, looks right. run good till I touched it. Help.

Check the firing order with the firing order diagram that I have uploaded, and if that does not solve the problem then remove the spark plugs and be certain that there is an even spark plug gap between all of the spark plugs, (see the emission label under the hood for the correct spark plug gap) and be certain that there is not any split-fire or multi-fire spark plugs installed in the engine, because those plugs will not work with an OBD-II system, and a random mis-fire is the least that they will cause if installed in an OBD-II controlled vehicle.

When I replace the spark plug wires on my 2000 4runner how do make sure that the wires are in the correct order

Okay, on the photos I am posting, pick the size of motor that you have....since you didn't post it. When you find the right photo of your motor, the numbers on the engine correspond to the number of the spark plug that goes to the coil...1 to 1, 2 to 2 and so on. This is your firing order and will ensure you have the proper spark plug firing from the correct point:

2004 KIA OPTIMA WON'T START AFTER SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGES

HI. There are several areas of concern here. I will list them below. Check all areas stated in the list for faults.

Possible cuases:

1. Incorrect firing order set. On the 2.0, 2.4 and 2.7 engines. These engines are equipped with a distributor-less ignition system. This system incorporates a coil pack assembly, along with wire sets. In order for the assembly to fire correctly, the order of the wires must be set to the proper sequence. if not, the engine will not turn over, or start correctly. Make sure your firing order is correct, and make sure you have not placed a particular wire set into the wrong cylinder. I will post a picture of the correct firing order for your engine, below this list, shortly.


2. Incorrect spark plug gapping procedure. If the new spark plugs were gapped incorrectly, this will not allow for proper spark, thus, preventing optimal combustion, due to lack of fire. Check the spark plug gap using a wire gap gauge, and adjust if necessary. The gap should be 0.039-0.043 in. (1.0-1.1mm)

3. Failed coil pack assembly. This will be the worst case scenario. The coil pack supplies the necessary current that fuels each plug. The current is transferred, via wire sets.This will be the culprit if all the above areas are proven to be operational, and in good shape.

4. Failed wire sets. Replace the wire sets if faults are found at the connector at the ignition coil pack, or at the plug boot.



NOTE*
In order to provide the correct firing order for your engine, i will need the engine size and liter information, if possible. Please post this information, asap. Thanks..

REMOVAL OF THE PLUGS:

Do not attempt any maintenance on spark plug if engine is hot. 
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. 
2. Carefully remove high-tension leads. 
3. Use compressed air to blow any dirt or debris from around spark plug hole. 
4. Check that spark plug fits squarely in spark plug socket and remove spark plug.

Raise a vehicle and install SST(OK552 131 001) in order to replace cylinder 2, 4, 6 spark plug. 

INSTALLATION:

1. Install spark plug into cylinder head.

Tightening torque : 18~22lb-ft (25~30N·m, 2.5~3.0kg-m)

2. Reconnect high-tension leads. 
3. Reconnect negative battery cable. 

Hope this helps and simple to understand. Good luck
