2.4l nissan 4 plug firing order?

[thedarkwolf]

Anybody know it?

Atleast I hope thats what my problem is. I was doing a tuneup yesterday and broke a bolt in the distributor and had to pull it. Now today I stuck everything back together and I think I screwed up the plug order. Its either that or I got the distributor way off but the shaft that drives it is notched and will only go in at one spot so I dought it. Its not even trying to fire.

btw 93 nissan truck

Oh and which one is #1 on the cap

1-3-4-2


That's the firing order for the 2.4L 4-cyl (KA24DE).

I got it from 240sx.org FAQ

Both the 240SX and your truck share the same engine so the firing order should be the same.

Hope that helps.

Right, most 4 cylinders fire at 1-3-4-2

As for the ditributor position, I think maybe you should get a service manual. Chiltons is good but kinda techie, Haynes is idiot proof but not as detailed. Haynes has worked for me so far. One question I have is how did you drop the distributor without the #1 cylinder being at TDC?!?!?!! Isnt that the most important thing to do.

Good luck

Thanks guys I figured it out. The problem was my old cap had the vent/breather hole on the opisite side as the new one and I didn't notice that when I put it back together . Swapped everything around and it fired right up.

As for the distributor I marked it when I pulled it but I cleaned my mark off luckly it would only go in one way so it really wasn't a problem.

Now I just need to go out and buy a decent timming light like I have been meaning to do for the last 4 years.

Yep. IIRC, all 4 cylinders are 1-3-4-2 except old VW air-cooled flat-fours, which are 1-4-3-2.
