Just did Wires and Plug won't Start
Hello everybody
Just did wires and plugs and it won't start. Started smoothly prior.
I followed the wire pattern which is 123 564 from the coil. Any suggestion. I was meticulous to one side at a time. Anti-seize on the threads and dielectric grease in the wire boots.
Any suggestions. It is not even firing.

Welcome to the forum
Is the coil plugged back in?
4 wire connector
3.0l had two different coil models/mounts
4 wire Connector on drivers side and passenger side, and where that connector is determines the spark plug wiring
Image here of spark plug numbering and 4 wire connector side: https://www.2carpros.com/forum/autom...900_fo_154.jpg
So it could be
3 4
2 6
1 5
Front
OR
5 1
6 2
4 3
Front
depending on which side the 4 wire connector is located
So same firing order just rotated 180deg because 4 wire connector is on opposite side
Cylinder numbering is always the same
3 6
2 5
1 4
front
Check EEC fuse and Fuel Pump fuse in engine fuse box, both should be 30 amp
One is for spark the other for fuel

I never unplugged the coil or disconnected the battery. But the wiring sequence seems to be correct. My coil on the passenger side sequence below.
4 3
6 2 Coil plug
5 1
Front
Pull off passenger side wires first replace plugs, then replaced wires. Then did Drivers side. Same order.
Never touch fuses.
Also to note, replaced with Motorcraft plugs SP-413 and Motorcraft OEM wires

Well you did it backwards :)
Look at #3 post picture here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/2-9l-3...-order-117597/
5 1
6 2 Coil plug
4 3
But 2 and 6 should be firing, so make sure those made it to the right cylinders
1 and 5 are match pairs, as are 2 and 6, and 3 and 4, each pair sparks at the same time, thats why the wires are connected the way they are
Look at #3 post picture here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/2-9l-3...-order-117597/

this is the cylinder order. As the wires are numbered so I just have to make sure the wires are on the right cylinder and then hook them up as per your diagram.
This is what I have for cylinder numbers in the block
3 6
2 5
1 4
Front
Correct?
