My car is going crazy

[zblackbeast]

Ok, so it has been hesitaing on mild to full throttle load under 4k. Well, i pulled the codes and it said bad coil. Ok, well, i got a "new" coil and it came today. Well. i swap things out. Double, tripple check the wires are routed correctly.. and they are. Go to fire it up.. well its running on 4 or 5 cylinders. ran the codes and all its giving me is a front bank lean and no knock sensor detected. (nither of witch it threw before.) I said, well, maybe i got a faulty coil. so i swap the old one back in and double and tripple check the wire routings. and the same exact thing.. WTF sho?!!?

DIS was replaced about a month ago and it didn't solve it..

So, i figured my problem.. After ranting here i decided to look at the plug diagram on the forum here and turns out im an idiot. I had the coil right, but the cy;. # wrong. I was being stupid and put it on like this
123 61
654 52
----43 . and one check revealed i also mixed up the wires are i was following them to the coil (who ever did the plug wires really twisted them up and made life hard) and some how managed to only have my car firing on cyl.#'s 1 2 and 3. ha.. i feel like an idiot now! you may flame!

No flame from me, I messed up an old Jeep and it took me a while before I realized I put the wires in the right order, but went clockwise instead of counter-clockwise.

this isn't really a flammable mistake, as there is a service manual out there that incorrectly lists the wire routing.

You should be proud that you found the answer via searching...

I'll flame him.
