Help firing order 2.2liter? Options

[bdog_v]

Hello I went to replace my spark plug wires on my 94 celica 2.2 liter and have found a problem between my chilton manual and how my spark plug wires were set up?

-The chilton manual states for 5s-fe engine 4-3-2-1 , now #4 cylinder is on the passenger side in their manual.



-However on my car the #4 cylinder by the passenger side according to the chilton manual, was reversed and on the driver side, so on my car the cylinders went 1-2-3-4 with #4 being on the driver side, the exact opposite of the chilton manual, and the spark plug wires ran to the appropriate number on the distributor cap.


-So is it possible to reverse the wiring and the car will run o.k. or did the chilton manual make a mistake???

-I am doing an overall tuneup on the car and will be doing timing so I, need to know what cylinder to time off of?????


-Has anyone ran into this issue? What is the correct cylinder order??? THanks...

Firing order = 1-4, 2-3.

It goes from left to right from the pass. side to the drivers side.

Seriously tho, it could be 4-1, 3-2 and it does not matter which one goes first such as the # 1 or the # 4 cylinder, cause both pistons come up at the same time.

No. You forgot about fuel and air. They might both be comin up at the same time, but one is in the compression stage and the other is evacuating the exhaust gas. So- valve openings are different between the two. Injectors fire at different times as well.
