Can someone help me with a simple question

I know this question sounds stupid and i've searched the faq. I went to the factory manual and I still can't find a diagram.

I need to know proper spark plug wiring diagram. I think I may have the wires crossed up and for the life of me i acnnot find a diagram that shows where they're supposed to go. If anyone could help me out i'd appericate it.

Do you have a Haynes manual? The answer is in there, but it's not in picture form. You'll have to read a little bit.

Bro if I had one I wouldn't have to be on here asking the question. here is the basics the front coil two wires which two plugs do they go to. Leading trailing top or bottom? It's a pretty straightforward question. I know everyone wants everyone to search out their own answers but sometimes a simple answer is all that's needed.

It's pretty straight forward.

The front rotor is #1, and the rear rotor is #2. The upper spark plugs are the trailing, and the lower plugs are the leading.

You have two coil/igniters. The one in the front of the engine bay is the leading coil/igniter, and the one at the firewall is the trailing. Each wire terminal is marked--L1 and L2 at the leading coil, and T1 and T2 at the trailing.

So, just match the L1 terminal to the lower front spark plug, the L2 to the lower rear plug, the T1 to the upper front plug, and the T2 to the upper rear plug.
