Why are my three ingnition coils are not firing at the same time

Hi,
Isuzu seem to have complicated things by changing engines, firing orders and even direction of rotation! As you can see, they've numbered the cylinders the other way than the 3.2L.

The Firing sequence for the 3.1 (traditional distributor) 6 cylinder is as follows -



If you take the distributor cap off, there should be a "No.1" formed on the inside. Stick a lead on this before you put the cap back on and go from there.
As leads are different lengths, you may have to swap a few to find the best fit.

I think 2 of them will look out of place - but that's the way it's designed. Just make use of clips for holding them neatly.

Thanks for using Fixya.

THE COILS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT (STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR) ARE 1,4,6,3,2,5 HOPE THIS HELPS

You can do a compression test, compression should be at least around 128 psi with no more then 20 psi difference between cylinders.

My apologies for the delay....Due to the bad economy the number of questions posted has skyrocketed 50% in the last 4-months.

For 2WD and 4WD it is the same:
For 3.2L:
Firing Order:
1-2-3-4-5-6
Cylinders:
5-------6
3-------4
1-------2
(front of vehicle)
Coil is on the Spark Plug
