Don B. Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Sounds like a misswired plug [wrong firing order].On the coil pack there should be numbers by the spark plug pins.Check and made sure the number is connected to the wire that goes to that plug. From the passanger side of the car,the side of the engine that faces the radiator are the odd numbered plugs. #1 is closest to the passanger fender.
Vincent Vega Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Don's on the right track. Was it running OK before the tune up?
Guest F14CRAZY Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Could it be a bad coil pack?As Don said, cylinder 1 is in the passenger front corner. 2 is passenger rear. Etc...6 is closest to the driver
