Default '95 CX Firing(spark plug) Order ---possibly?

Hey guys, my first day here and I searched for my answer before posting and came up empty handed...

I just picked up (3 days ago) a 95 Bubble CX...bone stock... basically my DD (I'm a DSM guy)

I picked up a new distributor cap/rotor and some wires along with a few other things... Today I simply removed the cap and rotor, put the new one on, put the new wires on and went to start her up... She idled and revved up for about 15 seconds then just shut off... Now it will crank but not start, or even chug.... I'm thinking maybe I managed to swap some wires accidentally?

I've found a few pics online about the order but I don't know if they are for the motor in this beast.... Any help would be great.

Jordan

Get back to basics:

Have you checked whether spark is bright white at all four plugs?

Does the fuel pump prime?

Any CEL codes?

Thanks guys. Im no noob when troubleshooting problems as my gsx is down more often than it runs, I just didn't no the firing order. It's a spark issue for sure.... Just pulled the plugs and tested them an am getting nothing. What a great DD.... Haha.

Thanks for clearing up my question though.
