Ahl 4 Posted May 12, 2007 Found with a search: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/cre...-1095978935.jpg From memory looking at the cap the top left one is No1, then 1-3-4-2 Thats for a mi16, but the order is the same for your car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahl 4 Posted May 13, 2007 tbh mate, just look at where the leads go in, and match them up. Or just take it to a garage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in the slightest if you actually read the replies you've already received & look at The picture!! Thats for a mi16, but the order is the same for your car. Fit your leads to your cap in that order & they are right even though your cap doesn't look anything like that one. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205johnnyxsi 0 Posted May 14, 2007 put the leads on to the cap plug them on to sparks, try and start the engine , back fires out the airflow, then 2 or 1 is out then change 1 on to 2 3 onto 1 so on and so on on 3 it will be rough so when out get that far change 1 at a time, so you dont have to start from the start again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
