Trying to find a firing order diagram for a 91 ford aerostar 4.0L V6. I have a book for it, but it is impossible to put the plug wires on the coil block in the order they describe, wires are too short! Can you help?

#1-2-3 PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TO REAR
#4-5-6 DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TO REAR
ALSO COIL PACKS USUALLY HAVE THE A COIL CONNECTOR TO # OF CYLINDER

HOPE THIS HELPS

    Thanks for your help, this was close but not quite right, Passenger side correct #1-2-3 front to rear, but Driver side is # 5-6-4 front to rear. Since the coil banks fire two plugs at a time, the order had to be adjusted to follow the firing order. Again thank you for your input.

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.

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.
