Installing new plugs
Is there a firing order that correlates with the wires and plugs?
here is how the trailing/leading plugs/coils are,
X1 X2 Trailing T-Coil connector O1 O2
x1 x2 Leading L-Coil connector o1 o2
There are 2 coils that the plug wires connect to, one is near the front bumper and the other nearer to the firewall.
Does it matter which plug wire goes into which plug from the coil or can they be mixed around.

yeah, the plugs and orders matter. Simply put, Leading is Lower, Trailing is Top. Easy to remember with the L's together and T's together. Leading coil is in front of the car (should be labelled) and trailing is in the back (again labelled). If you're running different plugs, make sure they get in the right location. I'm running all BUR9EQ's, so that cuts out a little of the thinking in my plug changes. Good luck, it's one of the easiest jobs you can do, but the first time it might be kind of confusing.
edit:
Also, the leading is labelled L1 and L2 and trailing is labelled T1 and T2, the "1" goes to the first rotor (front) and "2", obviously, goes to the rear rotor.

On the rear rotor, there are 2 connectors, lets say C1 and C2, does it matter if I mix it up and lets just say that C1 goes to T1 and C2 goes to T2, but I cross it and C1 goes to T2, and C2 goes to T1.
This would also apply with the leading plugs...I am just wondering if there are any specific firing order for the plugs and if you mix up the wires, the car most likely won't start..or run really bad.
