I have a 2000 Explorer Sport with about 80,000 on it I was trying to find out what the cylinder pattern was for the engine. I would assume that it would go, if you are looking toward the back of the engine to the front, 1-3 on the left 4-6 on the right. I just want to make sure though. I know there are two types of V6 on this vehicle the one I have is [b:1b3b6c3adb]not[/b:1b3b6c3adb] the SOC. Thanks for the help.

Hey jp,
pretty sure its the other way 1,2,3 on the right (pass) side. To verify this, look at the top of the coil pack, the wire #'s should be printed on it, find #1 and trace it to the side its on!
