Firing order I need the firing order for a 1996 dodge caravan also I have replaced all plugs wires cap and rotor . It had more pick up and go before I had replaced them u would think that it would make it better. so frustrating

bought a dead car or made it dead doing this job?
does not matter all , just new wires.
replace them 1 by 1 ,never more at once.
or OOPS?
or did all wrong and need what to do now
well, put the engine crank pulley at #1 firing
on compression stoke, not exhaust stroke, valves both CLOSED
and BINGO rotor points to #1 wire.
then rotor direction
and last lay the wires back down. (rotor must be at #1)
if confused by TDC learn there are 2 on clinder 1.
end of compression stroke
end of exhaust stroke (4 cycle engine it is)
next time mark #1 before pulling wires, mark cap #1
do not unclamp the DIZZY base bolt or lose timing.
now the trick for true TDC 0degree mark.
there are many

• valve cover left off both valves closed ,bingo
• use compression gauge to find TDC<PSI high bingo
• PSI 0 not
• or the thumb pushing over spark hole #1
• feel no pressure crank pulley turned CW fail
• feel pressure now? bingo TDC about to happen
• next time learn how to do it right. not be stuck in TDC H3LL. (not me have all the tools to find it)

not firing replace spark plugs and/or wires or distributor cap and rotor

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 !!

The big rectangles are referencing the engine, the cylinder associated to it's "firing" are the colored circles, and the are also the location of the spark plugs....the smaller lego-looking block is your coil pack. The spark plug wires run from the coil pack to the spark plug on the engine. The wires match 1 to1 or black to black...and so on....

When these are matched to each cylinder/spark plug and it's wire leading to the matching coil pack position, this is it's "firing order". If one of the wires is "crossed" meaning, not 1 going to 1, then the engine will "miss-fire".

Sounds like firing order or you have moved 1 cyl up or down
on cap
Rule of thumb take out no 1 plug and take off cap put your thumb
over plug hole so you can feel compression stroke if you have timing
marks line them up if you look at the rotor arm this should be no 1
check firing order and away you go

the firing order is usually stamped on the engine itself. Take off the distributer cap and turn the ignition to see which direction the rotor is turning.

The distributer cap has the number 1 plug marked . After finding the firing order, place the wires 1 where the cap is marked then in the direction the rotor is turning (ie:clockwise or couterclockwise). Keep looking . Most every motor I have seen has the firing order maked right on the engine.Or the owners manual ?

Turn the crankshaft till the timing mark is at 0...Check where the rotor points...if towards the back of the engine, turn one more time till it points to front. It is now at #1 on cap. Plugs are 1357 on left bank, 2468 on right. order is 18436572 in that order around cap in the direction the rotor turns when cranking.
