Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

I have looked at so many forums and guys are fighting about this, which way does what.

I have had multiple answers on the firing order.

But have also been told that the number one plug is the driverside front So could someone please help.

I see your photo but on this forum I also saw a photo of just the opposite so that is why I am confused.

I currently have the firing order set this way and it is running terrible.

The only difference in mine is when I set my truck on tdc the rotor under the cap is pointing to the 4 in this picture.

But that is where my number 1 wire is so I was told that was ok.

That being noted my latches are the exact opposite The driverside latch is towards the front and the passenger latch is towards the back what does that mean.

Yes, there is conflicting information but it looks like the mix-up is between the 2.8 and 4.3.both V6.

Because currently it is opposite of that And would that affect the way the motor runs if it is maybe 180 out.

That being noted my latches are the exact opposite The driverside latch is towards the front and the passenger latch is towards the back what does that mean.Looks like its is 180 off.

Its 180 off even if that is where I have the 1 wire When on tdc the rotor is not pointing at the 1 hole but pointing the opposite of that.

If I rotate the motor by hand one more full time around do you think that the rotor will come around to the 1 position and then all I might have to do is change my wires around.

Dont take the distributor out to rotate unless you had it out.then you might have put it back in 180 off.

Rotate engine to where 1 goes down and comes back up.and I bet it will point to 1 as shown on the Haynes pic.

If so, you were timing it from TDC on exhaust but I dont see how it would run at all.must have been really rough.

Put you finger on spark plug hole, and when you feel compression, its coming up in compression.

If you feel nothing, the exhaust valve is open on exhaust stroke.

I have even gone so far as take off valve cover and watch to see when both valves are closed.

If he changed the cap, might not have put wires back on right.and you need to check each one is going to correct cylinder from cap.

I will check it as soon as I get home and then get back to you.

Thank you very very much This has been going on for a month or better But think we are on it know.

Its not unusal to see the ignition timing off by 20 to 30 degrees when this wire is still connected They call it the engine control switch, so the ECU is not Fighting your movement of the distributor trying to set the base timing.

The only info I could find online was to install a jumper in the ECU port under the dash between A and B and supposedly this would bypass the ECU but I dont think it worked A local mechanic said it sounds like my ECU might be out but I dont know if I totally trust his input.

The rotor turns in a clockwise direction so to advance the timing you turn the body of the distributor counter clockwise, and to retard the timing you turn the body clockwise.
