Plug firing order?

Post by Ricksmx3 »

Can anyone post a diagram of the firing order for the v6 or just tell me the numbers and where they go onto the distributor cap please?

You're cap doesn't have the numbers on it already? I haven't seen an Mazda or aftermarket one yet that didn't have the distributor cap numbered.

I just looked and i do have the right plugs in the right holes in the cap but now i need to know if the right wires are going to the right plugs.

OK. If standing at the front of the car looking back towards it (knees against the front bumper), the firing order goes:

1 - 3 - 5

2 - 4 - 6

It was the firing order and engine layout you asked for but it looks like your question was answered anyway :)
