Spark plug wire routing?

[abydielsgli]

so i was doing a tune up on my girls car last night and like the dumb kid i am. i didnt mark where the wires came off of that way i could line up the new ones and now i have a constant miss on the car. im pretty sure its running on 3 cylinders cause i can drive it but i obviously get horrible gas mileage and i need to make sure its all good.

so i figured i just switched the wires up wrong

here is what i got.



if your looking at the cap from that angle this is where the numbers are at

3
4 1
2

and i put them from longest to shortest pretty much

any asap help would be awesome
thanks

The cylinders are numbered 1-2-3-4 with 1 being next to the timing belt (making 4 next to the distributor). Put the wires on the proper cylinder and then hook them up to the corresponding number on the distributor cap. It's hard for me to tell from your images, but I think you need to swap the wires for cylinder 1 and 2.

On second thought, the car wouldn't run if it was set up like that, you've probably got a bad connection on one of the wires. Make sure the plugs on the distributor cap are inserted properly, and that the wires are on the spark plugs.

thanks for the quick reply. i was sure i had all the wires routed right so i figured let me check spark. it was cylinder one wire that was no good so i replaced them again and all is good.

fricken cheap ass parts suck sometimes
