Anyone have a diagram of which plug wire should go to which plug from the distributor. I know, i know, you're supposed to remove one at a time to avoid this, but i wasn't thinking. any help appreciated.

If you look at the distributor cap it should say on it what each tower is for. #1 cylinder is the one on the passenger side of the car (by the pulleys.) and number 4 is the one closest to the drivers side of the car (by the distributor.)

If the distributor isn't number (which is highly unusual) then i can get you more specifics if you need it. And BTW if the cap isn't numbered do yourself a favor and go get a nissan cap.

car still won't crank



on the distributor, i've got:



<---- front of car

( ) 4 ( ) ?



( ) coil



( ) 2 ( ) ?



i tried them as 4-3-2-1 and 1-2-3-4 still no luck. i was assuming the tower next to 4 was 3 and 1 was next to 2. is this correct? its not labeled, or at least i can't find the numbers for the other two.



on a brighter note, we finally got the damn nitrous solenoids clicking :)

Hehehe! That might get his attention! :D

It got mine and I don't even need the diagragm.

Funny thing is my distributor cap on both my old '91 NX2000 and my '96 G20 always had the firing order engraved on it. :confused:

Even the replacement caps for both cars did. Oh well!

Nice drawing! :p
