What is the correct firing order?
What Is the Correct Firing Order? The firing order of straight-four engines is 1, 3, 4, and 2. Vehicles using straight-8 cylinder engines use a firing order of 1, 6, 2, 5, 8, 3, 7, 4. Cadillac 472, 425, 368 and 500 V8 engines firing order is 1, 5, 6, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8.

Will wrong firing order damage engine?
Screwing up the plug wire order would cause cylinder misfires, and the unburned fuel usually flow out to exhaust and potentially damage the O2 sensors and Cat – but should not happen with only few seconds of cranking the engine.
Why is firing order important?
Firing order affects the vibration, sound and evenness of power output from the engine. The firing order heavily influences crankshaft design.
What happens if you get the firing order wrong?
When the firing order is wrong or delayed, the engine does not run properly. The spark may be delivered to the cylinder when there is no fuel/air mixture or before it is properly compressed. Turning the ignition does not start the engine.
Why do engines have weird firing orders?
Firing order can be set up (at design time) in many ways. There are constraints such as vibration but there are other ways to cope with some of those (eg, balance shafts to try and counteract vibration). Your suggested firing order is possible for an engine designed that way (crank / cams / etc).
Can you mix and match plug wires?
What is even more imperative than matching cable length is that you do not mix up the order of the spark plug wires. Improper installation of these wires can result in poor combustion or misfiring of the cylinder, which will cause drivability issues and potentially severe damage to the engine. Do not force the wire.

How does a leak down test work on a Dodge Nitro?
A cylinder leak-down test is a better indicator of leaky valves, head gaskets or rings. You don’t need any fancy psi gauges unless you are looking for percent-leakage numbers. You will need to manually crank/turn the engine to do the leak-down test. Install a compressed air hose into the spark plug hole of each cylinder with both valves closed.
What should the air pressure be on a Dodge Nitro?
Install a compressed air hose into the spark plug hole of each cylinder with both valves closed. Listen for air whispering out the tailpipe for a leaky exhaust valve, out the intake for a leaky intake valve, or out the oil filler hole for leaky rings. Note that the air pressure used for the test needs to be 80-90 psi.
