Went to install new wires and noticed after I pulled all out that they are not marked on the rotor cap like on the wires.. Help please anyone, they are completely miss firing. I have 96 Accord LX.

 

Anybody??????? Car won't start.. Need some help

 

thats why you change ONE wire at a time...i would help you but i have no idea how to tell which one goes where..sorry man! Anybody else? Each vehicle might be different. BUT..you can do the process of elimination..just try EVERY combination ok? for 4 cylinders...its 4x3x2x1...so you are going to have 24 different combinations i THINK...someone correct me if i'm wrong.

The new ones should be different sizes...longest meaning the furthest away from distributor, shortest being the closest to the distributor and so on. hope that helps

 

Assuming you are same as F23 in gen 6 this is the pattern.

Bottom left when looking at cap 1--bottom right is 2-- top left 3--top right is 4.

3-4
1-2 --is the gen 6 4cyl pattern.

Try this for your gen5, they are likely the same I would imagine.

 

Figured it out. There's one marking on the rotor cap that starts the 1 then 4-3-2 going clockwise. In case anyone else has this problem and does a search.

 

cool, i'll take note of that.

 

what you can do is pull out ur sparkies and sick napkin in to the sparkplug holes and ask your friend to crank the engine and you would have to do this a few times each time u crank the cyc. will pop the napkin, in correct order

 

wait...what do u mean? napkins in the cylinder head where the spark plugs used to be? That doesnt make sense, u'll get em stuck in there.

I'm sure i misunderstood, could u please explain in further detail? thanx!

... or you could just be smart and change one wire at a time LOL
