i ve really messed up my firing order on my truck i dont know what happen this ha never happened to me before ive changed the trucks plugs once before with out a problem but now it wont crank tried it three times whats the safe way to fix this

 

Look up the firing order for your truck

 

You probably mixed the wires. Thats why you do 1 at a time.....


Like thorny said look up the fireing order of your motor.

 

if i do this will it f*** up the motor or will it fix it self? ive tryed cranking it three times

 

how does the firing oder on the motor ? from the fire wall

 

found it here The Ford Ranger 3.0L Vulcan V-6
it says it goes
1-4-2-5-3-6
were does the 1 start

 

1 is on the front passengers side in that drawing.

 

Did you look at the picture on the page?

 

OK IT FIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!just now its idling rough

 

Well, if I were you I would stop trying to start it and make sure you have all the wires in their correct places.

Also did you get your plugs pre-gaped? If not you will need to gap them.

 

probably idles ruff cause you mixed up the wires tried cranking it and have now got it sorted. but there might be left-overs in the cylinders that need to get pushed out.

 

and how it that fixed

 

yea i would check the gap on the plugs. and that should solve the problem

 

thought motor craft came per gaped

 

Umm, I dont know about that. Did you check them before you put them in?

 

self fail

 

yeah there per gapped , so what could be wrong now

 

Is it still running? If so, for how long and is it still running rough?

 

it will still crank and it sounds normal , then after the rpm go down it starts to run rough
and i didnt have it runing more that 20 sec could it be the timing from trying to crank it in the wrong order

 

Try to start the truck and let it run for a few minutes. Like one guy said, it might need to refigure itself out.

 

dumb question that safe

 

THAT DID THE TRICK SHES RUNNING NORMAL
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU HELP
