Hello, I need the firing order for the vehicle listed above Bighorn v6. Also, looking from the front of the truck toward the cab of the truck, which ignition coil would correspond to error code P0302? All three ignition coils are on the driver's side of the truck. Please and thank you anyone who can help.

The cylinders are numbered from front to rear with the left bank being numbered 1,3, and 5 and the right bank being numbered 2,4, and 6. The firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2.

A P0302 indicates a misfire on cylinder 2. So, standing at the front of the vehicle, it will be the first cylinder on the left side. See pic 1 below.


Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
Joe
