The car in question is my Series 1.
I had a problem with one of my spark leads and car was running on three cylinders, so I got straight on to Magnecor for some of there KV85 Leads. I made the biggest school boy error and pull all the old leads off without checking the firing order..........I fitted the new one's (guess work) how I thought was right and tried to start it, got a little spark noise.....and relised I got it wrong. I then checked through the photo gallery and I now think I have the correct firing order but the car isn't starting.
Could I have done damage to anything by starting the car with the leads in the incorrect order?
It wants to start but just wont go that last step.......?????

Coil?????? Still the wrong firing order????????? Dizzy cap????? flooded????? Driver?????


Help anyone please

Thanks

 

You won't have damaged anything by having the wrong order.

The firing order u want is 1-3-4-2

And the connector in the dizzy cap closest to 12 o'clock is number 1.

then go round the cap in an anti clockwise direction fitting them in the firing order above

 

And also it might be worth checking the plugs arent wet from flooded cylinders if you have been trying for a while

 

The thought had crossed my mind that I may have flooded it so I think I'll leave it till the morning before trying again....Thanks for the help.
