the easiest way is to do one at a time when working with plugs or wires.but if you don`t then cylinder 1 is on the end of the motor were the pulleys are then 2,3,4.this i think is a distributer system so the cap is usually marked were cylinder 1`s wire is installed.then you have to see which way the distributer rotates.then the next wire to #1 in the direction the distributer rotates will be the next wire in the firing order.the firing order is 1342.
Cylinder #2 is the the second spark plug counting from the right to left.

Your misfire can be cause by couple of things but the cheapest way that you can try to fix your car is to do a tune up by replacing:
1)all spark plugs
2)do a oil change
3)spark plug wires
3)distributor cap and rotor
note misfire can be cause by:
1.bad gas
2.spark plug and/or wire
3.distributor cap and/or rotor
4.valve adjustment
5.injector
6.off timing
7.ECM
8.bad wiring(power, ground or feed line)
no, the plug is firing. But the timing is off. the plug is firing quite a bit before top dead center on that cylinder. The burning of the fuel mixture is occurring while that piston is on its way up and is slowing it down---dragging down the whole engine. i think you should change the distributor cap and rotor as cylinder one is firing at the same time as cylinder 2or 4. This indicates a possible carbon track in the distributor cap.
The 2.7 L - V6 engine in a 1996 Honda Accord is : 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6
The distributor rotor turns COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
The engine cylinders / spark plug locations are numbered :
1----2----3
4----5----6
front of Accord
Cylinder #1 will be the one closes to the fan belts and so on 1-2-3-4, on the distributor cap there should be a # 1 stamped on it, put cylinder # 1 spark plug wire on that one, install spark plug wire in firing order clockwise on the cap, the cap some time's might even have the firing order on it.
for the 1.5L -1.6L- 2.2L and 2.3L ENGINES. from left to right engine cylinders is 4 3 2 1 .now at distributor cap .get a piece of paper draw a big circle now at top of circle from left to right will be 2 then 1 from bottom of circle left to right will be 4 then 3.thats where you will put your plug wires.now the circle you draw 2 upper left of circle 1 upper right.at bottom circle 4 lower left of circle and 3 at lower right.
normally 4 cylinder car's firing order is 1,3,4,2 Pls check your distributer cap no1 is there next 3,4,2. No 1 Cylinde is on Front side(pully mounting side) you should crank your engine & find out distributer turning side and fix it.
