Firing order 1996 olds aurora - 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora

1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 But a 96 Aurora did not come with a V8

Not sure if you have a 1996 Cadillac Seville or a 1998 Olds Aurora but I would check the Ignition Coil Packs. One or more of them may need to be replaced. Also if you were working on the car and got the wires plugged onto the wrong coils then the firing order sequence would not be correct and this can cause a misfire or backfire conditon.

Ignition wires cannot rest near the primary wire harness of the ignition module, which can cause electrical interference and a no start condition or a misfire condition

On my friends 1997 Cadillac Seville it was easy to replace all 4 coil packs took less than 30 minutes and made the car run much better. Just make sure to get the firing order right. If necessary find a diagram of the correct firing order for you vehicle.

A good place for mail order auto parts is rockauto.com

I have pasted a picture below of what an ignition coil pack looks like

You might find the firing order is cast into the manifold a lot of the oldsmobiles had this!

Remember rated this; good luck.

The firing order is cast onto the manifold at each plug location and the distributor has the numbers of them also.
Here is your vehicle.
