firing order 182?

[Nads]

Guys,

am i right in thinking the firing order for the clio 182 is 4321? one being the gearbox end?

For some reason ive put new leads on and now the car is misfiring and the engine light is flickering?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr R.]

The firing order won't be 4321 but yes number 1 is at the gearbox side.

Hi yes number 1 is the gearbox end

 

[Nads]

what is the firing order then? 3421?

 

[easym5]

Try putting old leads back on the way they came off,maybe you have them the wrong way round or new are faulty

 

[Mr R.]

1 3 4 2.

1-3-4-2 is it not?

 

[Nads]

ill give that a go!

 

[easym5]

Firing order is 1 3 4 2

 

[Mr R.]

I thought that the coil pack is numbered up anyway?

I thought that the coil pack is numbered up anyway?

Indeed they are. Sometimes the cheap ones are not I guess.

Ok i just tried that and its pops and bangs on start up.

1-3-4-2 1 being the gearbox end or cambelt?

 

[James105]

Number 1- Flywheel/ gearbox end
Number 4- Belt end

1342 firing order doesn't work though

I am connecting 1 to coil number 1...3 to coil number 3 and so on?

am i missing something here?

 

[James105]

Duff new leads?
It should just be a case of connecting 1 lead from coil terminal number 1 to cylinder 1..etc.

Have you tried the old leads again?

going to swap them back now.. WTF never had faulty leads before tho
