Urgent!!! Need To Know Now!!!

Okay...so, I was getting ready to change my fuel filter and I noticed that the plug wires didn't appear to be in the right order...so, correct me if I am wrong...

The Coil located right next to the battery is the leading coil. Right ?

The other separate coils located by the firewall are the secondaries. Right?

So, if the above statements are true...shouldn't the coil connected next to the battery run plug wires to the top plugs? In the same, shouldn't the coil located by the firewall run wires to the lower plugs??? I really need to know!!! SOON!!! Thanks!

No. The coils closer to the battery are leading. They run to the bottom plugs. And PRESS SUBMIT ONCE DAMN IT!!!!

Don't feel stupid... just remember that if it happens again than i'll be forced to throw acid directly into your face and than beat you senseless...

L1 - Lower plug, front rotor
L2 - Lower plug, rear rotor (closer to transmission...)
T1 - Upper plug, front rotor(closer to radiator...)
T2 - This should make sense now, if not.... the acid is ready

Regards,
-Markus
