Rough idle and poor performance led me to the endeavor of replacing my sparkplugs and wires. However, of course now it runs even worse – almost undriveable.

Its possible, but I was sure I was careful, that I messed up the spark plug wiring order. I honestly don’t believe this is the case but I can’t account for the extreme performance decrease since.

It’s far more likely that I dropped a plug and closed the gap on one of the plugs.

But before I redo that effort, I wanted to verify the firing order.

It’s a 91 Mazda Navajo. It’s a 4.0.

Anyone know the order or know how to tell?
 






Most 4.0's that Ive seen. The firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6
What did you set your GAP to man?
 






If you have your owners manual you could check the SparkPlug Specifications Section
 






Gap set at 50 from 54 I think. Recommendation from a friend.

Heh, trying to find my manual now. I know its not where it should be.

At one time I had a Chiltons manual, also, so I’ll try and find that.
