What order do I put the sparkplug wires in on a 97 honda civic?

I recently replaced the sparkplugs with a new wire set. Now the engine isn't running right and the check engine light flashes. I looked around on some forums (honda-tech) and it looks like i need to put them in a certain order (firing order?). The question is which order.





Thanks in advanced!|||Follow the center of the distributor cap where a line bridges to a point outside of the cap. Use this as a guide for your starting point and work your way around clockwise to each 4 points. First point connects to spark plug 4, next connects to spark plug 2, next connects to spark plug 1, and finally spark plug 3.





Spark plug 1 is the one closest to your belts on the right side of the engine, while spark plug 4 is the one closest to your distributor on the left side of the engine.





These specifications haven't change between the Civic 92 - 98 models. Make sure you get this right and confirm with a Honda Civic Service Manual if necessary. Sparking the wrong cylinders to work against each other can damage your engine.





Hope this helps!|||1342 starting from the puley side of the motor|||starting on the back bottom place on the dist cap and going clockwise should be 2, 1, 3, 4. the number one cylinder is the one closest to the belts. that should get you going
