Re: messed up firing order leading to engine not starting...
the firing order is 1-3-4-2 (cylinder #1 is the one furthest to the right), hook them up to the distributor cap like this, I hope this diagram makes sense:
[1] [3] [2] [4] ------------- ^Flat part of distributor cap

Re: messed up firing order leading to engine not starting...

Re: messed up firing order leading to engine not starting...
I'm pretty sure the firing order that bluevp00 gave you is the correct one. I just did this job myself a couple of weeks ago. Are you sure you have the wires seated completely onto the plugs? Is there a reason you didn't put in new plugs while you were at it? Obviously it's something simple if the car was running fine before this. Double-check that you have the wires properly seated on both ends (plug + distributor cap) and that they are in the right order. Maybe get some dielectric grease and put inside the boots. Next time, do one wire at a time to keep this from happening. Good luck.

Re: messed up firing order leading to engine not starting...
take a small hammer and bust rotor off but don't hit it to hard shouldn't take much then you can get screw's out and replace them..good luck too you.
