Coil pack, firing order.

[b-morr]

K, I'm lost.. I don't know what to do with the firing order.

Its a 2g with dsmlink and inverted cas selected, its a 6bolt swap so with a 1g cas. I have a 1g coil pack on there. I don't know what to do with the firing order. I've tried 4123 4321 (which was actually what it was before with my last coil pack) 3214, and non of them have produced favorable results. Witch the 4321 is started but idled poorly around 200RPMS. 4123 it started and went up to 2000RPMS and then immediately died. And 3214 it wont even start.


These are if you are looking at the coil pack from the top and left to right according to the valve cover left to right 4321.

Any help?

it should be 4123 that is what it is on my car but try 3214

This is how it should be:
swapplugwires [ECMTuning - wiki]

I have the same setup as you (full 1g swap, 1g CAS, DSMlink) and that setup works for me. One thing - make sure you follow the wires back and plug them in to be in the correct order. I put on NGK wires, which have wire numbers on the coil pack end, but they were wrong. the 4 and 3 wire numbers were switched.

Have you done anything to the car recently to cause this? Or did you just do the swap or just install DSMlink? Or just out of the blue it won't work?

Well, I put a new intake mani on, and then my coil pack was bad so I put this used 1g one on. I checked it according to the FSM and it checked out good.

Ok, well, it started up 4123. But idled around 3000RPMS

So I tried to adjust the idle the right way, grounding the plug in the car and the one in the engine bay. It idled around 200-400a and kind of rough. So I walked around to the engine bay to adjust the screw, and i heard a horrible noise from around the intake mani area/throttle body. And then it died.. So I think I have a different problem...WTF

Have you set your timing recently (or know that it's at 5*)?

 

[b-morr]

It should be set correctly, but I can check if it doesn't stay running.

Lmao, I feel dumb. I found a vacuum port with no nipple screwed into it. At first I though it was a mounting threads, but I stuck a bolt in it and the car idled at 2000. So I put a nipple in it and hooked up my pcv in to it, car idled around 1500. Tried to set the idle, still around 1400. Set timing, and got about 1100 rpms at idle but cant get to go lower.. So its on to the search. Thanks for your help.

Just to double check and try to save some time searching, when using a timing light, the tick mark on the pully should line up at the fist line that has a T on the timing tab correct? The line opposite to the side that says 10? Or should it be the middle line?

You want it lined up with the middle mark - between T and 10.
