The firing order for a 4-cylinder 2.2L Buick Century is: 1-3-4-2. The distributor rotates in a clockwise direction, with #1 plug wire located at the upper left of the distributor The firing order on a 3.1 v6 is simple. 1-2-3-4-5-6 See a diagram of the 3.1 and 3.8 here. http://www.2carpros.com/forum/1999-buick-century-spark-plug-firing-order-vt177159.html http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginefiringorders1/

For the 2.5L (4Cyl):
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1-----2-----3------4
(front of engine)
Ignition Connections:
(back)
__
o-<----1
o-<----4
__
o-<----2
o-<----3
(front)

For the 3.3L(6Cyl):
Firing Order;
1-6-5-4-3-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
2-------4-------6
1-------3-------5
(front of engine)
Ignition Connections:
(back)
__
o-<----1
o-<----4
