I'm needing a diagram for the spark plugs

Here is the firing order and spark plug wire routing diagram for a 2006 Chevy Impala LT 3.9 V6:
Firing order: 1-2-3-4-5-6
Spark plug wire routing (starting from the driver's side):
  • Cylinder 1: connect to the coil tower closest to the driver's side headlight
  • Cylinder 3: connect to the coil tower next to cylinder 1
  • Cylinder 5: connect to the coil tower next to cylinder 3
  • Cylinder 2: connect to the coil tower closest to the passenger side headlight
  • Cylinder 4: connect to the coil tower next to cylinder 2
  • Cylinder 6: connect to the coil tower next to cylinder 4
Note: Make sure to route the wires properly to avoid cross-firing.

1999 chevy camaro starting problem? help

check that fuel is getting to engine, next, are you getting spark, are your plug wires in the right order, are they all good, you must keep plug wires from touching each other, is the cap & rotor ok, coil ok, fuses ok, do you have a fuel pump relay, if so, check fuse in relay. is the fuel filter new, did any codes get stored ECM, put drygas in fuel tank. are spark plug wires fully engaged onto plugs, don't concern your self with any smoke, let's get the engine started first, CHECK EVERYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE, including fuel filter, air filter should be new also, todays fuel w/ ethanol is garbage, for older cars. is the mass air flow sensor for this car ? aftermarkets are garbage. let me know how things work out, my knowledge is not cheap, but I will help you to avoid egg on your face, KEN

I can't figure out how to change my spark plug wires to the right fireing pattern on my Chevy exspress 2500 5.7l 1999 van

go to a parts store and open a book called specs for that type engine or call the dealer and they will give you the order of firing you need free also ask for distributor firing order this will allow you to match the distributor to the spark plug order on engine

I have a Chevy 2500 pick up truck. My son thought he'd replace the spark plugs. He removed the distributor cap, didn't understand it and now the truck won't start. He did not replace any spark...

firing order for 5.7 v8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 mostly all of the chevy v8s are the same firing order. the rotor button in distributer turns clockwise, the cylinder numbers are 1-3-5-7 on drivers side, 2-4-6-8 is on passengers side. To get started get your distrutor cap[new one] look on the top you will see a #1that's where you begin you must know if if rotates clockwise or counter clockwise start in that direction then follow the firing order and cylinder line up. good-day!! if cap is not marked, just pull out #1 plug, put a straw or similar in plug hole on top of piston. turn engine over by crank in front of vehicle with a wrench, when the piston comes to the very top just before it starts going down. this is tdc. and rotor button should be pointing to #1 wire on dist, cap. follow from there. good-day !!

I changed the spark plugs and wires on my 2004 chevy Aveo. I forgot completely to do them one at a time so i dont know what order they are supposed to be plugged in. i've searched and searched for a...

The firing order is 1 2 3 4 with 1 being the passenger side. Aveos don't have distributors, so the other end of the wire shouldn't give you much trouble.

Changed plugs and wires rotor and cap on a 1984 chevy camero v6 now it runs worst then before do i need to adjust timing?

Check the plug wires again. If you have them in the right place then some one has done work on this before and didn't set the distributor in the right spot. Get #1 piston on top at the compression stroke. Pull the cap and see where the rotor is pointing. It should be pointing at the # 1 Cylinder, which is on the right standing in front of the car looking at the engine. If the rotor is not pointing to it, you should pull the distributor and reset it. You will have to use a long flat screw driver to move the oil pump drive gear to set the distributor in the right place. Let me know
Randy
Ps the reason it was probably running bad to begin with, is that the distributor was not set right.

I mixed the distributor cables up,so i need the order to correctly connect

If the wires are still in the distributer, AND, if you have a stock intake manifold, the firing order is on the manifold. If it's a V-8, the number 1, 3, 5, & 7 plugs are on the drivers side of the engine. The number 2, 4, 6, & 8 plugs are on the passenger side. The number 1 plug wire can be located by looking at the distributer from the front of the engine and visually looking between the distributer and the number 1 plug. Visualize the distributer as a clock. The number one position should be located between 4 and 5 o'clock and should have the longest wire of those on that side of the distributer.

If the wires have been pulled from the distributer, then, then, remove the rotor cap, turn the engine over slowly until the rotor is pointing to the number 1 plug. Using the firing order on the intake manifold, starting with number 1, replace the wires going clockwise around the distributer.

Where are the spark plugs located on a 1999 Chevy Metro?

Right at the front of the motor as the motor relates to the car. It is a transverse mounted engine so the side of the motor faces the front and back.

The side that is closest to the radiator has the spark plugs. If it works, the attached sight will sow you a picture and other end of the wire the guy is holding is where the spark plug is located.

If you are inexperienced, be sure to use your hand to screw the plug back in to start. make sure you can turn it several turns before you use a socket. This will prevent you from cross threading the plug.

Hope this helps
