Changed ignition coil and didn't know which cylinder was 3, took a guess and was right now that I see this video, but problem continued lol so guess wasn't ignition coil great video
i have a ford duratec v6. i had a misfire in cylinder 2. the mechanic put the new coil in my cylinder 4, which would be cylinder 2 if it were a GM motor.
Wow, Ford really be likethat? Lol. I was just about to change my spark after the code said a misfiring in cylinder 7, so I figured I should probably know where that is 😂 I used to think I bought this hooptie for a good deal. Now after hearing all the horror stories on how hard it is to work on this thing I think I know why it was so cheap
There's another way for cyclinder placement is from the driver's side. The exsample is this when facing the engine from the front the leftside would be on your fight and visa versa ......
The International/Navistar (6.9, 7.3, 6.0, 6.4) built engines installed in ford pickups are not numbered by ford and are different. The 6.7 is ford and is numbered like the video.
what about a 2017 Hyundai with 4 cylinders. The rows are going horizontal instead of vertical so I'm not sure if you count left to right or right to left?
Number 1 is not always in front....i repete not always in front..if you time a 4 cyl. Geo tracker , like number 1is up front it will not start but if you time it as number4 is then it will start...
You sir had your distributor 180* out. It's very easy to do that and the tracker is an engine that if 180 out you can basically pretend the cylinder numbering is backwards and it works. I'm one of the few people in the world that has actually rebuilt a tracker 1.6 engine. The farthest forward cylinder is number 1. The bores were so small we had to get my friends daughter to wash the cylinder walls.
@@macsgarage LoL..... I believe you that you have done one ....lol..just one.. If you will look here on RU-vid there is a guy who will explain it to you..... LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW until they run into these engines, I've seen 3 And thats all I have to say...
My friend!! How 'come you say that Ford screws every buddy up ? You forget that Ford is "Pioneer" of auto industry. The others are followers. So Ford has been imitated all the time. Ford is not going to change a good way of logical thinking and become a follower instead of keeping leading!!
Ford is the only American V8 that is numbered that way(pretty sure anyway). So In a Numbers game against GM, Chrysler, AMC, Ect someone that works on a variety will be thrown off by Ford. As for Ford being a pioneer of the auto industry. I would argue the largest single impact Ford has had on the auto industry has been assembly process itself more so than engineering or vehicle design. That's not to say Ford hasn't been innovative in engineering or design however all the companies were as well.
They don't. You can call a dog's tail be a leg, but it doesn't make it one. Likewise, Ford can be name their cylinders Do-Ray-Me or 1,2,3, but that doesn't mean they fire in that order. 💡 Just keeping it simple.
"On a MULTI-CYLINDER engine". Ummmm... why the hell you feel the need to specify this? You ever worked with an engine that had a SINGLE CYLINDER??? Literally every engine is a MULTI-cylinder engine.
Wow now that's just wanting to comment some shit. Totally irrelevant. It didn't affect anybodys view of the video or confuse them. What a dick to point that out wtf 😂
@donnellray119 you can always Google the numbering for your application as there are always exceptions. There are also a few countries around the world that drive on the other side of the road. So it's all subjective in a way. The information in the video is correct however there are likely exceptions.
