Each cylinder has a coil pack. Each coil pack is directly above its respective sparkplug.
One end of the wire goes on the coil pack. The other on the spark plug directly below it.

There is no need for numbers on the wires they are all the same . Just plug the wire from the coil pack to the plug. don't worry you can not mess it up.

Plug and chug my friend ! No particular wire for any particular spot. Just did mine a couple months ago. And like the rest of the posts you'll see on this topic, #7 plug is a bear. Good luck!

OK, now I get it. I'm just a little slow. This was an early April's Fool post and I'm the fool who fell for it. Now I'm the one feeling stupid. Good one, got me.
