when i start my car and drive it it sounds like it missing i think i hooked up the sparkplug wires wrong does anyone know of where to find a diagram to do it right or know how to wire it right it is a 1985 gsl se when ur looking at the motor from the side is it leading 1 top of rotor housing one then trailing 1 at bottom of rotor housing 1 and leading 2 on the second rotor housing top trailing 2 at the bottom of rotor housing 2

thankz

 

hybrid7,the bottoms are leading and the tops are trailing.

 

damn I nearly ran out of breath reading your post. How about some punctuation.

As seen from the side: leading one bottom left, trailing one top left, leading two bottom right, trailing two top right.

 

the rotor housings are marked "T" and "L" and the dist cap is also marked L1, T1, L2, T2. number 1 rotor is the first one behind the water pump. good luck.

 

Think of it this way.

Top(Trailing)

Lower(Leading)

Phonetics are your friend

 

MNemonic device:

"T" = Top = Trailing

"L" = Lower = Leading

hey im a real newby on the whole rotary thing, and i still cant get my car to run right. Its bogging really bad ,no power, and backfires like a gunshot after i shut it off. only two of the sparkplugs are firing. im pretty sure it must be ignitor, because i've put new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, coil packs. But i cant for the life of me find any used ones and they are $300 new in arnprior/renfrew ontario. I was wondering where i might find used ones close to me as well as an actual diagram of how the spark plugs are suppose to be put on?
