Hi,
Check the ignition distributor cap and clean the electric contact points it might be already dirty.
if one has a spark that means your ignition coil is still okay. Remove the whole cap and check the inside part and clean it, use emery board.
Check also the high tension wires( spark plug wires ).
Hope Fixya helps you!
The big rectangles are referencing the engine, the cylinder associated to it's "firing" are the colored circles, and the are also the location of the spark plugs....the smaller lego-looking block is your coil pack. The spark plug wires run from the coil pack to the spark plug on the engine. The wires match 1 to1 or black to black...and so on....
When these are matched to each cylinder/spark plug and it's wire leading to the matching coil pack position, this is it's "firing order". If one of the wires is "crossed" meaning, not 1 going to 1, then the engine will "miss-fire".
Here is the firing order diagrams for the 4.3 liter V-6 engine and the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine, and let me know if you need any help to understand these diagrams, or if you require any further assistance.
Take out a spark plug, lay the plug (with the spark plug wire attached)on the engine and turn the motor over, if it sparks, your getting fire, Try each plug, works best a night so you can see the spark.
If you are referring to a firing order diagram so that you can properly arrange your spark plug wires (ignition wires) then one of these diagrams should help out.
2.5 liter engine;
3.1 liter engine;
3.4 liter engine;
If this is not what you are looking for then you will need to be more specific as to exactly what wires that you are seeking information for.
The non-turbo 2.2 Liter engine? 6 Degrees. Should be on your Emissions label under the hood.
(Firing Order is 1-3-4-2. Front of the vehicle is Number 1 spark plug. Distributor rotation is -> Counterclockwise. Spark plug gap is .044 44 thousandths of an inch)
