Looking for the firing order on a 93 ford probe 2.5 on the cap

1993 Ford Probe 2.5 liter DOHC V-6:

Hello difelice5: My name is Roger and I will help with your answer. The correct fire order is 1-2-3-4-5-and 6. I also attached a picture of cylinder reference and the correct fire order in the cap. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer as this way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

1-3-4-2

2.0 firing order - 1-3-4-2
V6 firing order 1-2-3-4-5-6 - pic of engine and cylinder numbers. http://www.aa1car.com/library/ford_firing_orders.htm
Where to put the leads on the distributor
from standing at the front of the car looking down onto the disributor cap the connector closest to you on the top is no4,the one in the middle is no5. and the one at the back is no3
The connector closest to you on the bottom of the distributor cap is no2, in the middle no1, at the back furthest from you and separated from the other two a little further back is number 6.
------------------- 2.0 probe I have no pic of the engine myself but I found this for the 2.0 4cyl http://www.btinternet.com/~madmole/images/Idle.h10.jpg you can see the wires and where they go (zoom the image by pressing CTRL and PLUS keys together in your browser)

if you are looking at the vehicle the front side of the engine is the left/pasenger side of the engine, that is number one 1, then it goes from let to right 1-2-3-4, grab the wires from the cap and shoot them over to the corresponding cylinders. Happy motoring

4.9L engine. firing order 1,5,3,6,2,4. clockwise rotation.

for the 1993 probe i could only find a 2.5 V6. there are two banks of cylinders, odd and even. in other words as you stand in front of the vehicle the odd bank is toward the firewall, the even bank is closest to you.
the number one cylinder is on the passenger side toward the firewall and firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. hope that helps

1993 is a split year, if you have charging ports are a little bigger than the size of a tire valve stem then u have R12, if they are big then you have R134, most all Ford in 93 use R12. In the picture are adapters for a retrofit to R134, these screw on an R12 port, note the large cap R134 cap on the end of the adapter.

Since it's turning over and you smell gas you probably have a spark proble. Check spark at plugwires and work back to the coil by disconnecting the smaller 3 prong connector at the distributor. Check for 520-580 ohms between the 2 outer prongs on the dist. side.  If that is good pull the cap and inspect.  Check resistance from the inner of the 3 prongs and the coil by probing the hole where the cap penetrates the high tension lead.  No resistance = Bad coil. Replace dist.  NEXT Remove dist. marking the rotor position and the housing position in order to replace it the same spot.  Tun th rotor and you should hear 6 clicks per rotation. this is the injectores taking spark. If none then CK1 (or camshaft sensor) is likely bad. refer to manual for in depth and double checking the routine. A Disty is aroung $200-250  or 1,000 at dealer. Even after all these checks there is no guarantee as the probe is known to have some really tough spark issues. Particularly the 93. This info is for 93 2.5L 6cyl., but translates well for most any car. ICM (ignition control module) cannot be tested unless your parts house has a tester. Th eprobes have internal icm and coil (in the dist.).
 Remember. You can jumper from gnd and 10 pin too pull codes. 
 All this can be found in a 15$ Haynes manual which pays for itself the first time you have issues.  Feel Free t oe-mail me - I have gone Waayyay past this with my 93.    [email protected]

this is a common mistake all it really is your distributor cap its most likely the firing order that is messed up, that why it fires a few times and quits
