S2 Ignition Firing Order Manual Error

Not sure if this was posted before, if it was I sure as hell didn't see it, but I came across it looking at the service manual for the 09-11 RX8's. Looks like there may be some people, myself included, who are using an aftermarket ignition system that may have wired it up wrong unknowingly. Per the service manual, the ignition system order has changed from 2003-2008 (ASH can probably verify).



Take note of the difference

S1: LF TF LR TR
S2: TF TR LF LR

So I am waiting for confirmation from ASH, but it looks like this is a typo in the service manual, here is why:

OK, I have another copy of this SH, on another PC, will have a look, I think it is a typo.

Edit:

Paimon, I just checked the Service Highlights in the 2004 (S1) and it is shown the same info TF, TR, LF, LR.

Go by what your Coil Bracket says which is correct LF (L1) TF (T1) LR (L2) TR (T2)
