I need to know the firing order for a v6 84 jeep chorkee a diagram showing where 1 is on the distributor cap & also the # of the plugs

V6 engine: firing order: 1 2 3 4 5 6, distributor rotates clockwise. Left bank of engine (driver's side), cylinders 2, 4, 6 (#2 at front of engine). Right bank: 1, 3, 5 (#1 at front of engine).
Inline 6 engine: firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. Distributor rotates clockwise.
The number one tower on the dist. cap should have a mark or numeral 1 on it. If not, turn crankshaft to top dead center of compression stroke on number one cylinder, the 0 degrees or "T" mark on the crank pulley pointer. If you are on the compression stroke (not the exhaust stroke), the rotor under the dist. cap will be pointing to the number one cylinder spark plug wire tower.

Here is the firing order diagram for the 5.0 liter (305), 5.7 liter (350) and the 7.4 liter (454) V-8 engines (note position of locking latches/screws between the 3 and 6 and the 1 and 2 terminals on the distributor cap). Let me know if you need the 4.3 liter V-6 engine diagram (hopefully not in a 2500 series truck) or if you require any further assistance.

Here is a firing order diagram and note the distributor cap latch positions between terminals 1 and 2 and 5 and 4, and let me know if you need any help to understand this diagram or if you require any further assistance.

Hope this is helpful.

To avoid confusion, tag and remove the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes to reflect how your engine is wired.

Also, here can review the Jeep XJ Service Manual.

I hope help you with this, Good luck (remember rated this help).

If your engine is a V6 I need to know the size to help you.

If its the V8 engine the firing order should be 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 in the order of rotation on the distributor (clockwise) Your model should have the # 1 marked on the cap and as long as no one has had the distributor out and put it back in a little off, It should be where its marked. If its not marked by the hold down for the wires to the cap, then (all things being correct) you should have the number 1 pointing towards the front. Number 1 normally points to the number 1 cylinder. On GM cars the furthest forward head is the Odd bank and the other head the Even bank. So the furthest forward bank would be 1 3 5 7 and the other side of the engine is 2 4 6 8.

I dont have a picture but this explination should help.
Hope this helps you get going again.

Check this info... Wiring Diagrams with the graphic firing order for 6 and 8 cilinders.

Good luck!!!

Firing Order 153624 Clockwise rotation #1 Piston is First Front of engine #1 on Distrib Cap is at 9 Oclock #6 is at 3Oclock Notes Firing Order L6

For a 4 the firing order is 1234 front to back and the distributor fires clockwise. Find one and run wires from there.

For a 6 its 123456 front to back and is also clockwise.

hi, you didn't say what engine you have, I'll assume it's the 4.0 L in line 6 cylinder. Standing on the PASSENGER side of the jeep, the spark plug at the front of the engine is #1, the next is #2, and so on to #6 which is at the back (nearest the windshield).
The distributor is between you and the valve cover on the engine. Pretend the top of the distributor cap is the face of a clock.
The #1 spark plug wire goes in the cap at what would be the 6 o'clock position, (as viewed from your position standing on the passenger side, facing the side of the engine). The firing order direction is clockwise, so the 'hand' of the clock (actually the rotor in the cap) would continue to the next distributor cap plug in, which would be spark plug wire to #5 (8 o'clock position), then #3 (10 o'clock position), #6 (12 o'clock position), #2 (2 o'clock position), #4 (4 o'clock position). So all this means isi your firing order is, 1,5,3,6,2,4 If you have a different motor or any questions, let me know. Good Luck! countrycurt0
