1999 explorer sport 4.0 cylinders: which is which!?

[wangmauler]

Hey there. One of my cylinders is missfiring, giving a check engine code that states cylinder 3 missfire. Just to be sure, I want to try a working wire first, but, WHICH spark plug belings to cylinder 3!? I can not, for the life of me, find any info in my hanes, chilton repair manuals, as well as on the interwebs and even on here! Thanks for any help!

From the front of the engine, #1 cyl is front, passenger side, on the same side, #2 is the middle cyl. #3 is the rear-most, then start at the front of the engine, driver's side for #'s 4, 5 and 6

Hey thanks! Sticky?

It should be in your Hayne's and Chilton books, part of the tune-up guides in the front of the books. Look for "firing order"
