Rootes1725cc

Hello all, my old girl isn't happy at the mo, not idling, coughing spluttering backfiring etc, not good.

Above is a picture of my engine ( i know not very good ) but would someone be able to tell me the right firing order and which lead goes to which plug numbered 1 to 4.

many thanks

Dave

Hi there.
Firing order is 1342
I have a mk2 sceptre but it has the 1725cc engine.
Try your leads like this (using your picture numbers)
put your engine 1 to dizzy 3
engine 2 to dizzy 4
engine 3 to dizzy 2
and engine 4 to dizzy 1

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve.

many thanks i will give that a try, it would seem if you are righjt that i had put dizzy 3&4 the wrong way!! Doh.

Steve many many thanks, re done my leads as per your suggestion and as i have sorted teh timing out i have never heard her run so smooth.

Looks like my lunch hour will be spent driving through the countryside in the sunshine

It was so hard trying to find any resource which had firing order and then linking that to the dizzy so you have saved my time and money!!

Excellent Glad i could help out. Enjoy the drive....
