What is the timing order on a 1993 Mazda Protege?

Answer 1

firing order for the 93 is; 1,2,3,4, when you are standing in front of the car left to right. if the distributor is on the car the order is (standing on the drivers side looking to the passenger side) bottom left connector is 1. the rotor turns counter clockwise so 2,3,4 accordingly.. hope that helps.. This is what the Hayes manual says, but it isn't right. I had to solve this myself last year. They cyl. order is left to right 1, 2, 3, 4, but the actual fireing order is 1, 3, 4, 2. I believe that the 1 is the one closest to the front of the car on the distrubitor and going counter-clockwise. I wrote them on my distibutor cap so I won't have the problem again. I learned from a friend that inline engines seldom fire 1,2,3,4. as the crankshaft doesn't work that way. -TWO780a
