2004 saturn l300 3.0 diagnosed #3 spark plug misfire. installed new plugs and coil pack that goes to #3 cylinder. now not getting spark to plugs. car won,t start

I'm guessing you had to remove all the coil to put the new one in. When you reinstalled the coil packs, did you make sure your they are grounded?

What order do the spark plug wires go in on a 2000 kia sportage?

Basically the coil pack in the rear of the engine feeds cylinder #4 and there is a a plug wire off of that coil pack also that feeds cylinder #1. The coil that sits toward the front of the engine feeds cylinder #2 and the plug wire coming off that coil pack feeds cylinder #3. Each coil pack has a white plastic connector that can fit either coil but the length of the wires to each coil is different and should be easy to distinguish which coil pack each connects to. -cylinder #1 would be at the front of the engine and cylinder #4 would be at the rear.

2005 chevy silverado won;t start.

i had the same problem, and it turned out the coil pack was moulding inside wich stopped the spark all together, i ended up changing my coil pack and putting on new wires because the ends connected to the coil were very corroded and that cures the not running part just fine

Two cylinders won;t fire

if you have already replaced the plugs and wires, 1st check that all connectors are properly attached to the coil packs. if that is all ok, you should change BOTH coil packs. when they begin to go bad, they will only send spark to one plug.
