*sigh* this is my own damn fault.
im installing new spark plug wires
does anyone know where the wires hook to the distributor in correct order?
the motor is a jdm b16a. (second gen)
thanks... *feels stupid*

 

1-3-4-2

 

oh so you know for next time. Replace one wire at a time.

 

yea i thought i did...
anyway i figured it out. running great
now time to install headers
w00t.

 

Is that 1342 starting at the top one and going counter clockwise?

 

No, the 1-3-4-2 is the firing order of the plugs when you look at the valve cover. (Looking at it from the front of the car).

To replace the wires on the distributer, stand on the right side of the car and face the dist. Bottom left is 1, bottom right is 2, top left is 3, top right is 4.

EDIT: Now if you think about it....if the rotor spins clockwise from 1, it would hit in the order: 1-3-4-2, right? Yup.
