Firing order is 1, 3 , 5, 4, 2, 6. With piston 1 at TDC, the rotor arm will be pointing at 1 or 6 (doesn't matter which as far as running is concerned - use whichever the leads fit best).

cheers guys yes put them back on the right way still running like a bag off spanners think when trying to trace the wire thing on lead 6 i have damaged the cam sensor well it didnt look the best now playing with the damaged cable it wont run at all now.

this car is starting to piss me right off i cant win

[h2ggv]

will the cam sensor cause the car to run like that now not run at all? or would it run without it?

[Grrrmachine]

It'll run without it; it just tells the ECU which bank of injectors to fire, and without that signal it'll just fire all of them.

Did you leave the battery disconnected for any length of time?
