98 s70 GLT Will not start after repairs

Post by chefbob »

I have a 98 s70 GLT that started missing and threw an intermitent miss in the on.1 clyinder code . I replaced the spark plug # 1, wires, cap and rotor. The car started but missed badly before I did anything now it won't start at all. The motor turn over but dosern't fire at all. I can smell fuel and since I started it before begining the repairs. i wonder if I got the plug wires in the wrong order? Could anyone give me the wire location- firing order on the s70 GLT Turbo. I read one post saying that the chilton manual has the firing order wrong. I have the Hanes manual and I want to be sure before making matters worse.
Thanks for any help you guys have been great with all the repairs I have done In the past.

I believe its the Haynes manual that's wrong. This is the correct order:
