Need immediate help! Please!

What set of spark plugs are leading and which ones are trailing? I have to change the spark plugs on my car. Is top leading and bottom trailing or vise versa? Please help!

Thanks,
DAvidf

On your old set of plugs, assuming they were NGKs, they should be marked T and L for trailing and leading. Also, trace your plug wires from the coil to the block. That'll tell you for sure.

yeah, look for T and L on the plugs, and match it with the T and L on the rotor housings (might bea bit dirty!)

The car wouldn't start until you changed the plugs? Please, go on.

T- IS FOR TOP, AND TRAILING--- L- IS FOR LOWER AND LEADING SIMPLE HUH?

And if you have good eyes, on the coils and engine they are marked with those same letters. And if you are reaaalllyy lucky, like myself, the sparks plug wires are marked so accordingly also.
