I have the four cylinder 2.0. First, I had to learn what the firing order of the enging is. My distributor has the numbers on it. They are very small but they are there. Hope that helps. Read through these questions and answers, I believe someone has the answer for the firing order. As far as the distributor goes. Take it to a parts store for some free advice or even search the internet for pictures of probes and may be they will help I just recently replaced my distributor and ignition wires on my probe GT. What you need to know is that when looking at the engine from the front of the car, the back left is 1, front(of the car) left is 2, back middle is 3, front middle is 4, back right is 5, front right is 6. After you know the numbers of each, you should be able to easily match that up to the numbers of your distributor. If not the numbers go as follows: when looking at the distributor cap from the drivers side of the car, going in a clockwise direction from the top left the wires should be plugged in like this: wire 5, wire 4, wire 6, wire 3, wire 2, wire 1. Hopefully this clarifies everything
what is the spark plug gap for an 1989 ford probe lx? Thank you.
I want to know what is the proper spark plug gap for my car. It's a Ford Probe 1994, 4 cylinders and 2.0L

there is no such thing as a 1998 Ford Probe. If there was, it would probably still be located next to the stock airbox. follow the spark plug wires.
According to the manual, .039-.043 inches.
motorcraft.com shows a spark plug gap of ( .044 inch ) for the 2.0 L - 4 cylinder and 2.5 L - V6 engines
According to one of Fords websites : A 1990 Ford Probe , 2.2L four cylinder engine has the spark plugs gapped at : ( .044 inch )
.044 inch ( for the 2.0 liter and 2.5 liter according to ford parts . com )
if you pull out one of the wires turn the car on while its idling you should hear a clicking coming from the spark plug well
at each spark plug
you have to replace all of your spark plug wires. there is a coil built into the top of each boot that goes over each spark plug. that's why the wires are so costly.
