Chrysler Repair: 1996 Dodge Stratus, dodge stratus, firing order


Question
I have a 1996 Dodge Stratus 2.5 L and I am looking for the ignition firing order. Can you tell me how to find that or what it is?

Answer
Hi Amy,
The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. But be aware that by internal rearrangements with the distributor cap, the actual wires are not arrayed around the cap in that order. This is done so that the wires don't crossover one another.
So the wires, going clockwise, starting from the forward left corner (adjacent to the raised area) are 1-6-2-4-5-3. That way the three wires on the side facing the front of the engine go to the three plugs on the side of the engine that face the front of the car, while the other three wires go to the rear set of plugs.
