The firing of the spark plugs must be balanced. The plugs fire when the cylinder reaches top dead center (TDC) on the upstroke or compression stroke. The cylinders are not numbered serially, so the plugs cannot fire serially. If you look at the inside of an average V8 you can easily see why that would not be possible. Click the link.
This isto minimize unbalanced torque and thus vibration which also reduces wear.
No - have you checked that it is firing on all cylinders - Sounds like the engine is mis firing or not firing on all cylinders.
4 cylinders firing order 1,3,4,2
As with all inline four cylinders, The firing order is 1342.
The number of a cylinder indicates the firing order of the spark in a sequence consistent with the number of cylinders.
How many cylinders?

How Many cylinders does the Tempo have?
the firing order is 1,2,3,4,5,6 coil pack viewed from front of car is 1,4,6,3,2,5 the cylinders are 2,4,6 in front by radiator back cylinders rt to left 1,3,5
check the plug & plug wires make sure you have spark, what cylinders arent firing, easiest way to tell is start it up, and feel exhaust manifold to see what cylinders are firing or not should be hot... if no spark then replace wire, may be bad coil or dist
