Coil, Spark plugs, & wires problem

[Griz2ly]

Yall listen to what i am about to say. it may get confusing cause i don't know all the names but i can try my best. changing plugs and wires. now i got the coil packs mixed up. which coil pack comes first, second, and third?? Which wire goes on what coil and number. if u still don't get what i am saying, what coil tip goes with what spark plug. is it coil 3 with the second tip in the first hole which the spark plug goes into. just an example. it is very confusing. i changed the plugs and wires and now car is idling terribly. it is going up and down. and engine is shaking. also now temperature don't hand don't work. I think i am the unluckest person in the whole entire world of the milky way when it comes to cars. please help

I have the firing order and locations of the coilpacks for you from a Haynes manual. I scanned it a while ago for someone else and it just so happens I had it still.

As for your idle and temp problem I don't know what could have caused that. All I cwould do is check all of your connections and sensors. Good luck

if you mixed up some of the spark plug wires, i'd say that probably has somethin gto do with the lousy idle, but i'm not sure about the temp sensor thing..

does the temp sensor work in limp-home mode at all? or is it disabled? because that's probably the mode (mood) griz2ly's engine is in.

good luck man, and really, have fun this time.

found problem to temp gauge. a wire broke apart. a black wire. ground i guess.
