correct plug wire connecion

Soooo I've searched but I guess I'm retarded. I changed the plugs on my car and now it won't start. What's the correct way to connect the plug wires from my understanding its T1 is top left T2 is top right L1 is bottom left and L2 is bottom right. Also what is the correct way to check if I'm getting spark.

Pull the plug wire from the coil bore and rest it up against the bore and try to start the car and look for spark.

FL Something to look at.

Make sure that when u were taking the plugs or wire out ... That u didnt loosen up
the Crank Angle plug

Hence no spark no fuel... no zoom zoom

Your understanding of plug location is correct. Make double sure the wires are hooked up to the coils correctly.

Dont you just hate that ? ..if you have a timing light you can clamp it on each wire individually and see if it lights up ..tape down the trigger if you have no helper and point it to the drivers seat

Or you can just look at your tach while cranking the engine over and if the tach needle makes SMALL bumps......you KNOW you have spark. No spark....no bumps of the tach needle.

Also a slow turning starter motor is a big handicap when trying to start a RX. Slow crank means lower compression as it spins the engine over.
