ive read when doing a 6 bolt swap in a 95 and using a 1g CAS, you need to swap some ingnition wires when installing them......it says to swap 1 and 4 with 2 and 3.........does that mean just plug wires into the coil pack like that. For example, instead of plugging cylinder 1 into #1 on the coil pack, plug it into 2, and plug 2 into 1's??? By doing this how in the hell is it going to spark the right spark plug at the right time.......so confused.......any help.
 
The signal out of the 1G CAS is inverted from what the 2G cam signal is, which makes the signal look like its 180 degrees off. Other than that it is correct. The 2 coils fire 180 degrees out of phase with each other, because one pair of pistons are at top dead center, when the other pair are at bottom dead center.

So all you have to do is swap the plug wires that go to one coil, to the other coil. And vice versa. That fixes the problem.

Alternatively, you could take the 3 wire connector that goes to the coil, and swap 2 of the wires that go to it. That would give you the exact same effect, and leave the plug wires in their normal positions. I have posted which wires need to be swapped on here before, but don't remember them off the top of my head.

so it doesnt matter if i swap plug 1 with 2, or if i swap 1 with 3??? As long as they are swapped?? Right?
