    This diagram is a little better.

    If this diagram is not very helpful then I can certainly see why you are having difficulties, after all color coding and numbers can be difficult for some to understand, and you might want to seriously consider having someone else install your spark plug wires correctly.

    Of course I am only saying this because even my wife could install those spark plug wires correctly in five miutes or less with that diagram, and to give such a low rating for the firing order diagram that you asked for because you can not understand it shows just how un-appreciative you are, and it is not like I or anyone else here have to upload a diagram just for you. I will be sure to avoid answering any future questions that you would post.

1997 honda accord spark plug wire diagram

Had difficulty preparing the diagram. Here is a video: How to Replace Spark Plug Wire Set 95-97 Honda Accord - YouTube
I'll try again as you won't be amused by that. Cylinder Firing Orders & Engine Diagrams - AutoZone Hmm, still trying.
4 - 3 - 2 - 1 for the spark plug wire routing of a 1997 Honda
If you need more information on how to replace the spark plug wires on your Honda Accord, you can check out this video tutorial from 1A Auto. It provides step-by-step instructions for properly replacing the spark plug wires on a 1995 Honda Accord V6 2.7L, but the procedure is similar for all 95-97 Honda Accord V6 2.7L models.

I have a 1985 Suzuki GS700ES. Where do wires from my 2 coil packs go to which spark plug. Thanks

The 1985 Suzuki GS700ES is a motorcycle that is equipped with two coil packs, each responsible for providing the spark to two cylinders. To determine which wire from the coil pack goes to which spark plug, you can consult the wiring diagram for your motorcycle.
If you don't have a wiring diagram, you can also determine the correct wire placement by using a spark tester. To do this, you'll need to disconnect one of the spark plug wires from a spark plug and connect it to the spark tester. Then, turn on the engine and observe which spark plug is firing. Repeat this process for each of the remaining spark plug wires until you have determined the correct placement for all of the wires.
It's important to ensure that the wires are properly connected, as incorrect placement can result in poor engine performance or damage to the ignition system.

My 1987 Mazda b 2600 2bbl, there's no spark from coil.

If there is no spark coming from the coil on your 1987 Mazda B 2600 with a 2 barrel carburetor, there could be a few potential causes. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the ignition control module: The ignition control module is responsible for generating the high voltage needed to create the spark in the ignition system. If the module is faulty, it can cause a lack of spark.
  2. Check the spark plug wires: The spark plug wires carry the spark from the ignition system to the spark plugs. If the wires are damaged or not connected properly, it can cause a lack of spark.
  3. Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs are responsible for creating the spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture in the engine. If the spark plugs are worn out or damaged, they may not be able to create a spark.
  4. Check the ignition coil: The ignition coil is responsible for creating the high voltage needed to create the spark in the ignition system. If the coil is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause a lack of spark.
If none of these steps help resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have the ignition system checked by a mechanic or repair shop. They can test the components of the ignition system and determine the cause of the lack of spark


It is possible that the black wire that is connected to the little black box on the side of your distributor could be causing the lack of spark in your ignition system if it is broken or not connected properly. The black wire likely carries a signal from the ignition control module to the ignition coil, and if it is not functioning properly, it could prevent the ignition coil from generating the high voltage needed to create a spark.
To troubleshoot this issue, you will need to repair or replace the broken wire and ensure that it is securely connected to the little black box on the side of the distributor. You should also check the connection between the little black box and the ignition control module to make sure it is secure and functioning properly. If the issue persists after repairing or replacing the wire and checking the connections, it may be necessary to have the ignition system checked by a mechanic or repair shop to determine the cause of the lack of spark.

How do i find number one location on a 1941 dodge flathead six distributor cap?

The only way I can think of right now is to remove the spark plug and turn the engine until number one piston is at top dead center. You may be able to use a piece of copper wie, about #14 or larger, to determine when the piston is a top dead center. You will then have to determine if both valves are closed. I have used a spark plug adapter with a supply of low pressure air to see if there is any resistance to air coming in. If both valves are not closed, rotate the engine 180 degrees and that should be the firing position for Number One. If you have not previously removed the distributor, the rotor will be pointing at the Number one position. Replace the cap and you should be able to determine the Number One Plug wire position.

How to change the spark plugs and wires

First you need to research your Make and Model vehicle and determine your spark plug size (5/8 or or larger) typically there are only 3 sizes but you'll need to know which as you will have to buy the Spark plug socket to remove them. Next you need to locate a online diagram or Haynes Manual to see if you yourself can reach or change the plugs and wires as some cars are built in such a way that only a Technician would know how to reach them properly. 3rd you will need to determine if the OEM wires (Original Equipment Manuafacturer) part is available (cheaper) or if you will have to buy a aftermarket set (Bosch or ACCEL). Removing plugs will require a Socket wrench, spark plug socket and extension. when putting in new plugs make sure you use Anti-sieze on the thread of the new plugs before installation (keeps from locking up into the head) also make sure you use Plug wire boot lubrication before putting in new wires (this helps make sure that future plug replacement is easy as it will help the boot slide on and off. That's it without knowing your exact make and model.

I replaced the coil plugs and wires and it is running ruff. I need a wiring diagram to make sure the wires are on the right spot on the coil.

if your car fires up, then the spark plug wires and coil wires are properly done. if it is running rough then you may have made one of several mistakes.

you may have needed to "gap" the arc end of the spark plugs (unless they were specifically "pre-gapped" for your particular make and model).

you may have not tightened one of the spark plugs all the way in, allowing too much air to enter the combustion chamber.

worst of all, you may have cross-threaded a spark plug, which would also allow too much air into the compustion chamber. it is usually possibe to re-thread the spark plug hole, using what i believe is called a "tap-and-die", but i have never done this before, so i am not sure if its success rate or difficulty level.

Where is the #2 cylinder located in a 1999 grand prix, 3.8 6 cylinder - computer said ....misfire on cylinder #2

Firing Orders NOTE: To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes in your book to reflect how your engine is wired.

I'm trying to locate the spark plugs in my suzuki 2008 sx4.

You remove the rectangular plastic cover on top of the engine(2 screws), under that is the plug wires and spark plugs. Pull wires straight up, remove plugs with proper spark plug socket, extension and ratchet, reverse to install.

Platinum plugs are not required but will allow longer change intervals. Check the gap but do not gap them, if they are not properly gapped. Bring them back and asked for new ones.

The metal's on the Platium plugs are harder then copper plugs and can break upon trying or break in your cylinder when in uses.

Good luck and hope this helps
