My son changed out my plugs/wires and he believes he put in same order but my engine turns off it also has a smell to it. I just want to make sure they are in the correct order.

Here is the firing order for both engines.

V8 Firing Order: 1 3 7 2 6 5 4 8

V6 Firing order: 1-4-2-5-3-6

I included the diagrams below that include the Mountaineer firing order because while they are the same firing order the coils are numbered different. If you don't have the wires on the coils correct then the firing order will be off.

Please let us know if you need anything else.

Cheers, Ken

Starting on the passenger side from grill towards firewall is 1 2 3 4.
Drivers side grill to firewall is 5 6 7 8.
If you need to know coil pack wire position, I need to know if it is a 4.6 or 5.0 liter.
