What is the cylinder order on an '89 5.0? Also, what is the spark plug order?

The firing order for the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i is 1-3-2-4. This means that the spark plugs will fire in the following sequence: first cylinder, third cylinder, second cylinder, and fourth cylinder.
The firing order of an engine refers to the sequence in which the spark plugs ignite the fuel in the cylinders. The firing order is determined by the engine's design and is important for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
In a 4-cylinder engine like the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i, the cylinders are typically numbered from left to right, starting at the front of the engine. The firing order for a 4-cylinder engine is typically 1-3-2-4 or 1-2-3-4, with the spark plugs firing in a sequence that alternates between the left and right sides of the engine.

It is possible that if you replaced the distributor, you simply have the plugs in the wrong firing order. Another possibility is that you need new spark plugs, wires, plugs, distributor rotor and possibly a distributor cap. A long shot problem is the ignition coil, but since you have spark in one plug, it is unlikely.

It sounds like the spark plug wires are not plugged into the correct place on the distrubutor. take the distributor cap off and crank the engine over. Make a note of which direction the rotor spins. (Clockwise, or Counterclockwise) then find the firing order for that engine. Sometimes the firing order is on the intake manifold. (if you tell me which engine it has, the 4 cylinder 2.0, or the 6 cylinder 2.5; I could post you the firing order). Now on the distributor cap there is one wire post that has the #1 on it, that would be where you put the spark plug wire from cylinder 1. Following the rotation of the distributor rotor, you would put the spark plug wire for the next cylinder in the firing order after the #1 wire, and so on.

For the 1989 GMC Suburban I do not know if you have the 5.7L or 7.4L, however both have the same firing order, cylinder layout and distributor layout:

Firing Order:
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Cylinders:
.......(back)........
|..8..............7..|
|..6..............5..|
|..4..............3..|
|..2..............1..|
........(front)

Distributor Connections:
.....(back)
(+) 6.....5
3...............7
4...............2
.....8.....1 (+)
.....(front)
Rotation:
Clockwise

number one piston it the first cylinder at the frount of the engine block,,,,,allways! on any engine,,,

4.3 v/6 firing order for an S-10 Chevy is 1-6-5-4-3-2, a helpful tip to always locate # 1 spark plug on a v engine.
If you look carefully at the cylinder heads note the very front of each, do you see one sticks out slightly further to the front then the other?
Tghis is the way these engines have to be cast for proper cylinder and timing rotation.
The furthest forward cylinder head is in fact the home of #1 cylinder, it is the first spark plug on that head, which in this case is the right side head.

For the 1989 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8L V6:

do a compression test.if you disconnect the wire,it there a spark?or is there no change if you disconnect it?you may have no spark or a bad 2 cylinders,or the firing order has been mixed up

Should be 1-3-4-2

need a diagram for the order the spark plug and pannle wires go.
