Quick question with putting ignition coil leads in

[Kizza9]

I'm gonna sound like a plonker, I changed my spark plugs and took the leads out without looking at which spark plug they go to.

Can anyone tell me what order they need to go in please? Cheers

it's a mk2 ph1 1.4 8v

It usually has a number on each lead, if not they are different lengths

this is how i curremtly have the leads in, it sounds like it wants to fire up but doesn't

do the spark plugs have to go in in a certain order?

as you can see from the pic (going left to right) i have ignition coil 1 to spark plug 1, ignition coil 2 to spark plug 4, ignition coil 3 to spark plug 2 and ignition coil 4 to spark plug 3

cheers

bump someone must know, haynes manual doesn't tell you anything lol

Each coil pack fires a pair of cylinders, 1+4 and 2+3, so try changing so the left hand coil pack is firing 2+3, and the other 1+4.
