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.

How do you replace the spark plugs in a 1987 Nissan Stanza - there are 4 intake and 4 exhaust?

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.

How many spark plugs are in a 4 cylinder engine?

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.
