I changed the spark plug wire and the distributor cap, using the correct firing order, runs very bad now, what did i do wrong, on a 1992 chevy truck 350

car battery is weak
ICM bad?
bank 1 only? there is bank devices here, at all
just 1 coil the dizzy cam just spins the rotor and picks 1 to 8.
if not the cap is bad or the timing is way off. or wire sets wired wrong. order
bank 1 is left bank 1,3,5,7


fact 1 one step one is set the spark gap to spec (this engine/year)
never run out of box lugs gaped at factory that is 0.045
the HEI gap spec 5.0L is 0.060": huge. that is.
almost 2 times 1995 gap. HEI is powerful.

you did not mess up the firing order ,did you?

to do all that. we , remove he cap
put on the new cap first
then remove 1 wire and replace in the correct order 1by1 correct to the new cap from old
not doing it wrong. end to end. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.
then do plugs last. 1 by 1, never all at once


5.0
order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

rotor turns CW





ICm bad or cmp dizzy pick sensor bad
or this relucting damaged

if you checked the plug gap before install then its has nothing to do with them. changing the wires you may have some wires in the wrong place in the distributer cap. check the firing order to make sure the wires are in the correct place both at the plug and distributor.

It can be faulty or dirty spark plug itselfd.Also for reference get the fuel level checked.Is the fuel tank is empty or near to empty.
Try cleaning the spark plugs and then see if that is helpin.On some cases the black carbon layer gets collected on the spark plugs and that causes the problem,so cleaning the plugs help.But if its not helping,then spark plug has to be replaced.Spark plugs get power from ignition coil to ignite sparks.If ignitioncoils are faulty then also there will no spark.--------------

Here is a firing order diagram and note the distributor cap latch positions between terminals 1 and 2 and 5 and 4, and let me know if you need any help to understand this diagram or if you require any further assistance.

Make sure wires are in correct order for firing. Also make sure they snap down when placed on.

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.

Hi,

On the 3.2L distriburorless ignition, the firing order is a straight 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Cylinder numbering .

Hope this works for you
