Timing and Firing Orders

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 is the most common firing order. Bring the number 1 cylinder up to top dead center. And find out where it is pointing on the distributer, put the cap back on ,then start putting the plug wires clockwise on the distributer starting where it was pointing on the cap with number 1.

what is the cam timing specification for mitsubishi 4M51 engine?

I can tell you that i bought my first and last set of Xact spark plug wires, been on the car for 2 months, had to take the valve cover off the car, everyone of the plug wires either broke off around the spark plug or just straight out broke, right now I'm trying to figure out how to get 2 of the pieces out from around the spark plugs, so i can put a different companies wires on the car, do not buy these cheap junkie wires, you will regret it later!

In 35 years of working on cars I've never seen anything like this happen!

Just change them one at a time and put them in the same location.

Connect timing light to #1 spark plug and battery

Remove and plug vacuum line to vacuum advance unit on distributor

Mark appropriate timing mark on crankshaft and stationary reference

Loosen distributor cap slightly

Start vehicle and aim timing light at timing marks

Rotate distributor to align marks

Tighten distributor cap when marks are aligned

Reconnect vacuum line

on my 1991 5.7 L mercruiser blue water the timing should be 8 degrees before top dead center.

Because the replacement distributor and spark plugs wont fire correctly if it installed in any other position.

I used to have a 2003 Dodge Neon. What you do is, first wear some gloves so you're hand/s won't get soar quickly. There are four spark plug cables on the top of the engine. Grab one at the,Warning, base only! Do not pull at the cable you can damage it. It can be extremely hard to pull off, at the base of the cable only, pull upward. PULL upward, rest if you have to. Then again, pull upward. You might have to pull and rest, pull and rest. It can be stuck and will require several attempts to remove the cable. Unfortunately, the reason it can be difficult to remove the spark plug cable is that the plug is long about 7 inches (longer than others) once you do remove the cable you will be looking at another problem. The spark plugs are located deep in a well in the engine (unusual), you'll need a ratch and spark plug socket with a 10 inch or so extension. Once you loosen the spark plug you'll need a tool to insert into the well and remove the spark plug. A special tool, to grab the loose plug and move it upward out of the well. Your fingers hands won't fit in the well. Once the spark plug is removed, you can gap it. Now you'll need a way to insert the spark plug, not so easy! You'll need a tool to lower the spark plug in the well and do the initial insert and tighten, before you can use the ratch (extension) and socket. I had bought a 2003 Dodge Neon spark (tune up)plug kit, includes all the tools and accessories to do the job. Even the special tools. I don't have the car anymore so I'm selling the tool on http://auctions.yahoo.com/. Check it out or go to your local Auto store they may have the kit? Good Luck!

9/26/06 Never heard of that but I do know for a fact that year and motor had a problem with the head and gaskets letting coolant into cylinder wall causing misfire could also be seizing your plug and breaking during removal hope this helps you
