Firewall
4 8
3 7
2 6
1 5
Front bumper
set the firing order with the plugs numbered like this?

Also what exactly do you mean by misfire, misfire to the point it can't be driven, just at idle. How does (if it does) the car accelerate, does it clear up in the high end? whats your base timing set at with the spout unplugged?
