The firing order on any engine, including the Nissan Z24 2.4 Liter Four-Cylinder engine is always started at #1 spark plug. On the Z24, it is the exhaust side. If you crank your engine with the distributor cap off, the rotor will rotate, of course. When you stop cranking the engine, the rotor will always stop where the #1E plug wire should be on the distributor cap. So when checking the timing of the engine, always go off of the #1 plug on the exhaust side. Disregard the comment about always stopping on #1E, it simply is not so!
The intake and exhaust plugs fire at the same time so in most cases it doesn't matter. Under some conditions, one set of plugs is disabled. If I remember correctly, it is the exhaust plugs that are disabled, but this is only at high speeds so it shouldn't matter for setting the timing. The Nissan Service Manual says to use the intake plug.
Joe, I don't think you had better try this yourself. I'm not sure you know what a spark plug is. I think Joe knows exactly what a spark plug is. The stanza has four on the intake side and four on the exhaust side. The exhaust side plugs are easy to pull, where as the intake side requires a good long extension and some patience.
there is no such thing as an exhaust coil. the ignition coil is the cylinder shaped thing that has a spark plug wire running to the center of the distributor cap
010 intake 012 exhaust
.32 to.35
The engine cylinder at the front of the engine is the # 1 cylinder The spark plug on the intake side ( drivers side ) is the # 1 intake spark plug ( The spark plug on the exhaust side ( passenger side ) is the # 1 exhaust spark plug )
The spark plug gap for a 1999 Nissan Sentra that has a 1.6 liter engine should be set a .044 inches. New spark plugs should not need adjusting as they come preset from the factory.
.044
Great little engine had one in an 86 I once owned.The Intake has 4 and The Exhaust has 4 = 8NGK Part # 7131 {Standard Plug #BPR6ES}Plugs - Intake {.032 gap}NGK Part # 7734 {Standard Plug #BPR5ES}Plugs - Exhaust {.032 gap}Hope This Helps.
crankshaft-camshaft timing, clogged exhaust, plugged intake, intake manifold leak.
The number of spark plug in a 4-cylinder engine depends on the type of engine you have. Some engines only have four spark plugs on the intake side for the ignition of the fuel. Other engines have eight spark plugs, four on the intake side to ignite the fuel and four on the exhaust side to ignite the exhaust fumes.
4 or 6 depends on what liter motor you have
on your exhaust, its a spark plug looking thing
