Without year and model nothing specific can be told...

Though always remember that the spark plugs are

(T)-Trailing Top
(L)-Leading Lower

Look closely at the coils. You will see an embossed letter-number at each plug wire connection point. For example, T1 connects with the trailing (top) plug on rotor #1 (front), T2 connects to the trailing plug on rotor #2 (rear). Same with the leading coil. That is, L1 connects to the leading (lower) plug on the front rotor, L2 goes to the leading plug on the rear rotor.

Get a free copy of the factory service manual for your car at one of the links in the 2nd gen FAQ. Also, a Haynes manual can also be helpful.
