My guess, is you removed them and didnt mark them?
the firing order?
what engine, there are 5.
to do this , one need to know 5 things.
2.5L, 2.8L, 4.0L and 5.2/5.9L engine displacements.
the distributor rotation direction CCW, or CW
and last the firing order, sometimes marked clearly on the intake manifold.
you must now where #1 cylinder is (always most front)
1989-98 2.5L Engine firing order: 1-3-4-2 Distributor rotation: Clockwise
2.8L Engine firing order: 1-2-3-4-5-6 Distributor rotation: Clockwise
4.0L Engine firing order: 1-5-3-6-2-4 Distributor rotation: Clockwise
5.2L and 5.9L Engine firing order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Distributor rotation: Clockwise
on a v6/v8 one cylinder is more forward. this is #1, look carefully.
firing order is correct, any other suggestions
you never posted symptoms, we can not guess what's up. car ran, then you did tuneup and now will not? why not tell the story, and what engine you have , number of cylinder and size. did you remove spark plug wires, willly nilly or 1 by one.? ,
if willllly nilly , then ask , how to time a distributor from scratch, that is the question, firing order is only one step of many,, as is rotor direction and where is #1 and what marks to use on crank. etc.
log in to alldata.com and read the ignition page, or
look here.
click XJ here.
no ZJ, sorry
then click ignition opt. find your engine and read who to time your engine. its all there. if unclear on a step, ask.
