What leads? What engine are we talking about here?

 

[A3ANDYF]

its a 99 1600. was runnning on 3 cylinders. so i think it was the ignition leads so i got new ones. and when i was putting them on. mucked up the order of them and now it wont even start.

Ahhhh, that info would of been useful in the initial post.

Not sure, but the normal firing order for a 4 cyl engine is 1-3-4-2.

 

[A3ANDYF]

so A C D B?

 

[Welly]

so A C D B?

If thats what's marked on the coil pack, then yes, I would think so.

 

[A3ANDYF]

no joy its really struggling to start now. time to give up i think

Sorry I can't be more help dude, but the 1.6 engine isn't my speciality....

I would be very surprised if it's not marks on the coil pack somewhere?
