I feel kinda stupid. but does anybody have like a diagram of some sort or can tell me which wires on the 2 coilpacks go to which spark plugs. i have a 1st gen with a rotor cap. but i'm not familiar with coil packs on this 2nd gen. i think thats why my car isnt almost starting.

heres the story. cars been sittin in some guys yard for a year or 2. old oil too. Smells really raunchy. got the car with the spark plug cables off. So the guy just slapped em on in some order he thought was good. (I know nothing of the order) anyway. drained the tank put fresh gas in. Changed oil and all that. It fires.. i know that.. it almost starts! White smoke comes out the back and its still raunchy smelling. Did this for like 5 min with breaks after 7 seconds of trying to start. I still gotta change the plugs.. the oil smelled jsut as raunchy as the exhaust.. so i dunno whats goin on.. has 206 000 kms on it. Shouldnt die just yet.. But anyway i gotta change the plugs and get the wires in the right order now...

I just need to know what order its in right now and maybe some advice on what i'm into right now.. i paid 700 for the car with no rust on even the frame.. its an 88 gx. Help would be appreciated.

 

The coil packs are marked. L1 and L2 on the leading coil, T1 and T2 on the trailing. The front rotor is #1, the rear #2. The bottom plugs are leading, the top one trailing.

 

Oh ok.. so L1 goes to front rotor on the top spark plug and L2 bottom on front one and so on.. ok thats good to know. Oh and i forgot to add.. the rpm gauge does register it going up to around 100 rpm while trying to start it jumps up and down like any car trying to start..

 

ummmm no... both L's are bottom. both T's are top. #1 is front. $2 is rear.


engine...

oooooh. Ok i got it. the little diagram shows where they go. Sorry.. i'm a visual learner. Think that i have blown seals since it almost starts? Apparently it started last year the old owner said. And the white smoke.. dont know what thats all about. i'm guessing its just cuz the motor hasnt run in so long. before last year it sat another year. so its been sittin 2 years with only 1 start..
