Today i switched out a few things on my Celica. Including changing oil, changing thermostat, changing spark plugs, and changing ignition wires. After changing everything im getting this really bad missfire. I think maybe I plugged the wire set in the wrong order, or Im missing a vaccum line or something but cant find anything!!
Here's a pic of the engine, see if you guys spot anything. Thanks in advance!..

Im not sure, how do i check that?
I unplugged each coil one by one and when i unplugged the the 3rd one (going left to right) it shut off the engine. |

you probably mess up the firing order of the wires. Unless for some reason the cap or rotor or one of the new wires is going on its way out.

Thats what im thinking too (firing order.) Does anyone know where i can find the correct firing order, or a diagram?
Im going to get a new cap and rotor tomorrow just to make sure it isnt one of those. |

CelicaST_CALI: Thanks!! Im gonna give that a try as soon as i get home! still at work UGH!!
808celica: I bought some NGKs at autozone. I double checked the gap just to make sure it was ok and they were at .032mm. Which was what they told me was the correct gap. This post has been edited by viruz_one: Jan 13, 2010 - 2:48 AM |

put back your old wires (should've labeled it before removing) and see if you still get miss fire. since you will be in the distrib why not check the ignition coil resistance with a multimeter and see if you're getting the right power.
