Firing Order

249 Views 9 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Thommy_STC
I have a 02 RS Warrior. I changed the plugs and wires because it was popping and backfiring. I put everything back just like it was. so now Im thinking the previous owner must have crossed the plug wires. Does anyone know the firing order?

What you really want is the electrical primary wire routes and the secondary wire routes.

Your Warrior has two coils. Each coil had two secondary wires that go from the coil to the 2 spark plugs in the same jug. One coil serves 1 jug.

Next, the primary ignition wires go from the bike to the coils. Stock coils have push on terminal connections. Dyna coils have screw connections.

Jug #1 is the back.
Jug #2 is the front.
So start with jug1 REAR and follow the two spark plug wires to the ignition coil. That coil also has primary wires that need to be: black/red and Black/orange.

Jug2 FRONT has primary wires that need to be: black/red and black/white.

Recap:
Both jugs share the black/red.
Jug1 gets the black/orange.
Jug2 gets the black/white.

The stock coils are not polarity sensitive however its always safe to make the primary connections consistent between coils (wire them the same). So maybe connect the black/red's to the left connector. And connect the other appropriate wire to each coil's right connector. Or any consistent manner.

The black/red is considered positive feed. So if you have coils marked with + and - signs, connect black/red to + and you're fine.

Also King I see this is your first post. Why not give us a little detail on your mean machine like....
How long have you had it?
What mods do you have?
Some pics of the bike and under the seat and tank?
Have you done anything to it besides plugs and wires? What wires?

Is there a specific order for the plug wires
Is there a specific order for the plug wires
THE WARRIOR DUAL OUTPUT COILS FIRE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME SO THE SECONDARY LEADS WILL WORK NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE ENGINE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO.
ONE COIL IS FOR THE FRT CYL AND THE OTHER IS FOR THE REAR AS STATED ABOVE.
The firing order for mine is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.
I will never forget this.....dam ford mustangs consuming my brains.

I think my old Datsun was 1-3-2-4. I wanted to comment something to that effect on this....

"I think the firing order is 1-2-1-2-1-2... but I might have it backwards."
