ok...I'm clueless here...I just finished reassembling my motor from doing the 60k service...and I go to start the car and it sounds almost like the plugs arent firing??? the starter turns the motor over but its not starting...I know I've got the plugs in the right order::

4 6 5
1 2 3

from looking at the firing block from the drivers side of the car...thats how the Ford Manual says to put them...thats right isnt it?

Standing in front of the car the back bank is 123 going from left to right. The front bank is 456. However, on the coil pack wires 5 and 6 are transposed.

Did you re-attach the intake ground strap?

Is this the way you have the wires routed?

yep, sorry about the delay guys, things got late and I was gettin crazy, thanks to Terry I regained my insanity...we pulled the suspension tonight on all four wheels, now I'm just waitin on my Koni's and Eibachs...and omg you guys would die laughing had we taken pics of how we removed the struts from the springs on the rear :)

(hint: it included a vise, a socket wrench on a 1/2" breaker bar, and a pipe wrench)
