Default What is the cylinder order on V6.....

I thought I knoew this, but after last night and CvTechs's misfiring problem I am not sure we had it right....I checked the bentley but can't find it in there....
I thought:

Right bank(pass side) goes 1-2-3 towards the pass compartment.

Left bank(driver side) goes 4-5-6 away from pass compartment.

Can somebody confirm this or sorrect me if I am wrong.

The only reason I see his car could be misfiring is if we(I) didn't put the wires on correctly....car didn't run perfect before but its much, much worse now.

Default There should be a sticker on the coils....

You are correct, 1-2-3, 4-5-6. The stickers on the coils tell which wire goes to which cylinder.

The passenger side is easy, 1-2-3.

The drivers side, 6-4-5. The first wire nearest the radiator, goes on #6, the cylinder all the way in the back. Second wire, #4, goes on the first cylinder, only one left is #5. ;O)
