I accidentally disconnected the spark plug wires going to my distributor, and now I have no idea which one of the 4 wires goes where...If anyone out there has a 94 civic I would greatly appreciate your help. I would do trial and error but I am not sure if this would cause some serious damage to the car.

The best way to give me the info is to look at the distributor as a clock with cables connected at 3, 6, 9 & 12 o' clock. So you can just tell me which "time" is connected to which spark plug number( numbered 1-4 from left to right)

For example, you could say 3 o'clock on the distributor is connected to spark plug #2.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

James,

 

1-3-4-2 starting at the bottom left pole and going clock-wise.

He means starting at top left pole.

Facing the distributor, 1 is top left. 2 is bottom left. 3 is top right. 4 is bottom right.

 

but i guess in your clock example:

12 is plug 1

3 is plug 3

6 is plug 4

9 is plug 2

No I don't.

3 4

1 2

is what it would look like if you were looking right at the distributor. Your order is correct, but 90 degrees off at the distributor.
