Technical Ht leads

[TurboTipo]

Can anyone tell me or has a picture of the order the ht leads should be connected up on the 2.0 16v turbo engine. i think this may be part of the problem why my car isnt running right I havent taken them off myself but want to double check they are correct

Have a look at this.

Firing order 1-3-4-2

I doubt the engine will run if you have 2 leads mixed up. IMHO most problems with plug leads are due to the lead breaking down somewhere..power going to earth rather than through the plug. Plug leads are a 'consumer item' When were they last changed?

i changed the plugs 2 weeks ago when i serviced the car didnt do ht leads as has the red magnicor ones fitted. Also went on the link you provided and when i changed the firing oreder to what it says the car sounded worse than before:bang::bang:

Must be running like a dog with the leads on the wrong pots!

Have you checked all the plugs are sparking and the injectors are working? If its not that then I have no simple suggestion..beyond taking it to a garage and getting a diagnostic check.
