What is the order of spark plug cables to the distributor for mazda 323 2001

On the distributor cap on each HT Lead connection there is a number presenting the spark plug connection with the cap. if the distributor cap has only the number "1" and not on the other hole for the HT lead connection then you fit the spark plug one lead and following the clockwise rotation fit the other HT leads. 1 for first spark plug,2-for second spark plug etc. First spark plug is fro the front of timing belt side. Good Luck!

I have a 1987 mazda b2200 and have ggone through all the parts on distrubutor and coil and the truck has no spark coming from the coil .. c an anyone save me from taking it to a shop and costing me...

If you have 12 volts ( or 7.5volts) to one side of the coil and nothing on the lead to the distributor then I would think that the coil is burnt out or faulty. If you have the voltage through the coil to the distributor but cannot generate a spark out of the coil lead then it points to the module in the distributor being faulty. IF you have spark out of the coil lead but not out of the distributor cap to plugs then check the inside of the distributor cap for cracks and /or the rotor button not turning

1992 CHEVY ASTRO VAN KEEPS MISSING HUSBAND CHANGED DISTRUBUTOR , CAP , WIRE, PLUGS, COMPUTER AND STILL MISSING WHAT COULD IT BE

missing is not always the plugs ,HT leads distributor . Most times it is from misfiring injectors and low fuel pressure.

My 1992 mercedes 500 sel runs rough once started..

Lots of things to check. From 1993-1995 the US made car compaies use biodegradable insulation on it wire which ages with engine heat and then shorts so check that first. It has an upper harness for engine and lower for charging and starter. Then a real tune up is next coils, cap, rotor and wires. Once youve done that fuel system is next on the list fuel filter and fuel pressure.

1988 mercedes 190 1.8 litre will not rev over 2000rpm

hi, have you checked the cap and rotor arm, sometimes the spark will track back to the h/t instead of going to the lug in the cap hence a misfire also the rotor can have a hairline crack producing the same symptom check both for cracks, this may be the problem hope this helps
