I think i might have placed my wires wrong on the lude cause it's running like total a$$. how does the sequence go?? Looking at the engine is it 4-3-2-1 going from right to left? how are they placed on the distributor cap?

i know this is a stupid question, just bare with me. I'm a tad bit lost.

 

Firing order of 1-3-4-2. Drivers side is Cyl #1, and goes right to left.

On the distributor, starting from the coil wire, go 1-3-4-2, clockwise

 

in most cases the cyl. numbers start 1 at the water pump end.
as that being the front of the engine

 

next time mark where they came off.....this saying pretty much goes for anything you replace on any project......good rule of thumb to work by

 

not all people have internal coil....there is a dot on the distributor cap at the cylinder #1 spot, just a 1/4" dot....that goes for any cap...

 

could i have maybe done something wrong? i hooked it up wrong once or twice and it idled REALLY bad, so i shut off the engine. Everything is hooked up right, and now i hear this popping sound coming from the exhaust! im able to drive and stuff, but it's not totally smooth... could i have screwed up the plugs or something? it's a little hesitant at lower RPM's... i changed the plugs 2 months ago (ngk iridiums)

thanks

It would help if you told us what you had done before you started observing these problems. Just a plug change? t-belt?, ??
