The second image is how it was hooked up before but my manual says the first one is correct.

I'm trying to figure how there is even two different firing orders.

The firing order is the same in both of those pictures as far as I can tell

 

[donnie42091]

The images are not the same. How did it run before? Hang on a sec let me look at my car.

I didn't say they were the same. I said firing order was. The coil layout is obviously different but wouldn't that be just a wire in the connector being in a different pin location.

Sorry misunderstanding. But i think the op was referring to the coil layout and accidentillay asked about the firing order which is the same.

I'm not familiar with these engines just yet. I know that on a 5.0 motor there isn't another layout for the wires and where they go on the coil. I don't understand how you can have two different wire layouts and it runs the same. I guess it doesn't really matter which is what I really needed to know.

 

[donnie42091]

It does matter i remember i ran into this issue before but it is weird that yours ran fine in the first layout

if its the original coils they should have the cylinders numbered on them.

coils packs are batch fire which means it fires off 2 at the same time. 1 and 6 3 and 5 4 and 7 2 and 8. so theyre both right.

heres a cop conversion wiring diagram,
TCCoA Forums - View Single Post - why does my car still run with NO spark plug wires hooked up at all???

I tried both. Second plug wiring order was the only one that worked so they are not the same. Not sure which 4.6 engine the first image goes to but doesn't work on my 98 4.6.

Chrm97PI was right. The original coils have the proper plug wire diagram on them. Thanks! Didn't even notice

no problem, it doesnt take much dirt to cover the numbers up so people dont see them.

No kidding, check out what I was digging through.
