If it's the wrong diagram simply do a Google search for 'Mazda Millenia firing order'

I'm not familiar with your car ... but does it have ordinary ht ignition leads, or colour coded ignition wires?
If it has colour coded ignition wires - each wire is a different colour for each different plug.

The image below is for a 4 cylinder engine:

This was all I could come with, hope it helps.

You may need a book with a diagram for this. Most auto parts stores have the books. Online search may be good too.
Firing order is 1342 counterclockwise. You may have to put the timing marks on TDC to know which wire terminal is cylinder one. Cylinder one is the cylinder closest to the drive belts.

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. Fig. 1: 2.3L and 2.5L Engines Firing order: 1-3-4-2 Distributorless Ignition System
