What is the cylinder layout and firing order for Ford Taurus 3.0 and 3.8 engines?

Answer 1

Ford settled on uniform firing orders covering many many years of vehicles:

2.5L Engine: 1-3-4-2

V6 3.0, 3.8: 1-4-2-5-3-6

Taurus SHO V-8: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8

V6 Cylinder numbering:

1 - 2 - 3

4 - 5 - 6

(Front of Vehicle)

The coil pack looks like this

--4 pin--

-----------------

--1--- 2--- 3--

----------------

--5--- 6--- 4--

----------------- Coil: with the connector positioned in the lower right hand corner, the upper row from left to right is: 4-6-5. The lower row is 3-2-1. ---- == == * http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-ford-firing-02.htm

* http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginefiringorders1/ == == ---- The distributor cap should have a number one stamped on it indicating which one is number one. if not you should go and get a ford factory cap and it will tell you. Alternatively, the distributor has 2 screws to hold it down - starting from the back screw to the right going clockwise is 3-5-2-4-1-6 ---- * To aid in installation and avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time.

* Use di-electric grease on the plug wires to help keep them from sticking for future ease of changing

* A bit of anti-seize compound on the plugs - again to avoid future problems

The firing order is Cylinders 1-4-2-5-3-6 ---- Change one - AND JUST ONE - spark plug wire at a time. Route the new wire EXACTLY as you took the old one off. Shouldn't take you more than 10 - 15 minutes. (must be referring to the Vulcan engine ;)) 1,4,2,5,3,6 Look here for Taurus / Sable firing orders: http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-ford-firing-99.htm 1,4,2,5,3,6 the firing order is 1,4,2,5,3,6 and the cylinders are numbered 1-3 up the back side starting at the belt area, and 4-6 are up the front side, starting at the belt area. yes. go to your local autozone and buy a haynes repair manual. it will give u the firing order and anything else you need to kno. 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6




firing order is 1-3-4-2. fairly certain on that.





1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6
