stevebedford Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi All, P38 1995 MY P38 4.0SE V8. I'm just about to change my HT leads and it occured to me that I shouldn't just assume the HT leads are currently connected in the right combination! So can I just sense check the current set up please? OK, as I stand at the rad grille and look towards the windscreen the HT leads are numbers as follows: Vehicle Offside/ Vehicle Nearside Bulkhead 8 / 7 6 / 5 4 / 3 2 / 1 Front of the vehicle The HT leads are then connected to the coil packs in this order (from left to right). 2 3 7 4 5 8 6 1 Is this right? All advice is welcome! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The cylinders are numbered as you say with number one right front as you look into the engine bay. odd numbers right even numbers left. The firing order is 18436572 Steve ETA the dizzy turns clockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebedford Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi Steve, Thanks. I have no dizzy, it's a 4.0V8 with coil packs. How do I link the firing order to the order they're plugged in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think its all ok 2468 and 1357 is correct for the banking The plug leads into the coil pack looks correctish from memory - the packs fire alternate bankings. I did have this somewhere for late engines as this, but can't seem to find it, 99.9& sure its correct tho Other way is that if you have no misfire they are also correct Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebedford Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks - Another thought.............Are the coil packs numbered? If so, are they easy to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
