Help-I'm so dumb Mixed Up Plug Wires
 
I forgot which wires go to which plugs...
Does anyone know what is the length wire 1,2,3 and 4 ???

The rear rotor uses the wires that have the red and blue on them, and the front use the other two.

The leading plug uses the one with the clip on it (the round C clip)

edit: (unless teh S1 wires arent the same)

:rofl:

Wires don't matter as long as they go to the right coil and the coil is plugged into the right connector

The wires dont matter, but assuming he is using OEM wires they are cut to length.

RIWWP 01-16-2014 03:08 PM

Yeah. Wire length is the only actual difference between the wires. Some shorter wires won't fit where the longer ones are needed, but otherwise it doesn't really matter. They are just making the connection between the coil and the plug, and it's that connection that you want to be sure it correct.

Yes, I know you are looking for the length. What we are saying is that the length doesn't actually matter. As long as the wire can fit between the plug and the coil and it is following that chart's connection, you can use it. Start with the shortest wire on the forward most coil, and work your way to the longest wire on the rearward most coil.

Simple.

paimon.soror 01-16-2014 03:17 PM

are the S1 wires not coded like the ones on the S2? (aka like in the pic above?) Because that would be a dead giveaway as to what wire goes where.

RIWWP 01-16-2014 03:20 PM

Some were, some weren't. I think one of my sets had 1 wire coded, the other 3 were blank. My original factory set were coded if i remember correctly. I think the other 2 sets of wires were completely unmarked.

paimon.soror 01-16-2014 03:21 PM

ah gotcha, good to know

That is completely backwards.

The positions are also marked on your coil bracket and on the rotor near the plugs will be an L or T. So for the front rotor match the T with the T/F coil and L with the L/F coil. For the rear rotor match the T with T/R and the L with L/R.

I'm pretty sure my coil bracket had no markings on it.
For future reference, I always tag my wires with pieces of numbered masking tape & match up the lengths. Or do one at a time, but that's a pain.

nycgps 01-19-2014 08:22 AM

hmm, is it really that hard to remember the order of coils/plugs ?

I don't find it difficult at all.
