I have a 1999 Honda Accord 4cyl. Coupe.
I recently started having problems with my car in which the vehicle was shaking violently. I got the oil and air filter changed and asked for a reading. The mechanic said that the machine read cylinders 3 and 4 misfiring as well as a random misfire.
I took his advice and changed the spark plugs (wich I changed only two months ago), the distributor cap, the distributor button and the spark plug wires.
I made a mistake with my spark plug wires and now I don't know if they are on correctly.
I read that the firing on the distributor is 1-3-4-2 starting from the top rear (closest to the firewall). The problem is, I don't know if the right cords are in the right place. I also read that the cylinders are in a linear position going from 1-2-3-4, starting at the right of the engine when facing the car.
There is a short one, a medium sized one and 2 long ones of the same length.
I have the shortest wire matched to cylinder 4 on the engine and the distributor. The medium sized wire is matched to cylinder 3 and the 2 longest ones are matched to 2 and 1.
Are these wires placed appropriately? Is there a spark plug wire diagram I could find for a 1999 Honda Accord 4cyl? I've searched all over google and can't find a thing.
Also, what could be causing the car to misfire like this, excluding the things I've just troubleshooted.
