How should i connect the wires of spark plugs in 2002 3.4 6 cylinder engine

On your smart phones browser put in Make, model, 3.2 engine firing order. It will bring back the firing order sequence and from that you should be able to figure out the wiring sequence and which wire goes to which plug. All you need to know is where the number one plug is on the coil pack.

Number 1 spark plug for 2000 Mazda MPV

The cylinder order is 1,2,3 (rear row, left-to-right) and then 4,5,6 (front row, left-to-right).
When replacing spark plug wires or plugs, it's very helpful to do one at a time to avoid connecting them incorrectly.
Hope this helps, Sherwin
