Ignition Lead Pattern

[debussetti]

On my way home from work, a spark plug which must have been loose chewed it way through the ignition lead.

I nursed the car a mile or so home to take a look at what happened.

In my haste, I didn't mark which cylinder the leads came from. The coil pack and top of the leads are marked from my last plug change.

So I broke out a set of spare HT leads I had, which fit quite nicely, and now my car will turn over but not start.

I need to work out which cylinder each goes in. Is it a standard pattern or variable between cars?

I know one is correct, because that lead was mullered when I took the inlet plenum off.

The other 3 seem like they are in the correct place.

Any advice?

P.S. Pics of the plug/coil to follow as a cautionary tale for those who don't correctly torque their plugs...

Start at the right going left, 1 - 4 for the plugs in the head.
the coil pack also has the numbers on them to then match it up.

I've got that sorted.

Next issue. There is definitely something in the cylinder.

Balls.

Is the car running off the cyclinder dude ??

 

[debussetti]

Believe so, yes. Not had a chance to compression test it however.

A quick update.

Compression test = OK
Endoscope = OK

New HT leads, New coil pack, new spark plug, and Voila!

Car runs like a beaut!
