    The numbers that are actually written on the coils wont be in the above order.They should be 3,6-left one,.The middle one should be 5,2, .And the right one should be 1,4.

    It depends if the numbers on the leads are the right ones.And they do have to go in the right places.

    Do the numbers on the leads match the same numbered cylinders?Like lead 1 should be on coil 1 and on the first cylinder just behind the coil packs.

    yes numbers on leads are from 1-6 sum leads are smaller than other obviously, lead number 1 is in the right place on engine number 1 on the PASSENGER side lol but other leads have differnt numbers to the coil, but in right place just not right lead, surely the leads are all the same but different sizes?

    Get a second hand one from a wreckers or borrow one just to test yours with before buying new ones.Theres a chance they are not causing the problem,so dont buy new ones until you know for sure that its them causing it.

    yea i was told i might have injector problem, but it mainly all started with my air con running for about 20 minutes in car park waiting for friend, it just cut out on me as if it ran out of petrol but i had petrol, since then i started having problems, it was bad at all with the miss firing just the cutting out on me, but wen my neighbour put all new spark plugs in for me it then got worse the miss firing.....

    and by the way i had notice the air con started smelling weirdly to maybe it needed regassing, also the "power train" light keeps popping up on my dashboard, i checked my manual wat this light ment and it sed its an electrical problem in engine .
