Ok on a 1996 BMW 318ti 1.9 wtf is the firing order? I just got new ngk that are numbered and withouth thinking of making notes I hella just yanked all the other wires off thinking I could figure it out... I heard its 1-3-4-2 but the car dies when I start.. Although it did start in the beginning when I may have had a couple of wires switched and it booged down. Now I believe the car is flooded any tips....? I believe the firing order is 1 3 4 2 even says in the book... But what now

I might be wrong but the firing order is handled by the coil on a 1996. On the coil front is number 1 and 2, 3, 4 right in order 4 being back. Same to the cylinders 1 up front and back is 4. The firing order does not matter since the soild state coil makes the firing order changes for you. Match a wire to front coil and #1 spark plug and work you way back. I think.

I'm right. I just looked at my car. They go in order coil front to #1 spark and work your way back, #4 is the back on the coil. You still have an issue. You need 150 miles of it running right to pass most emission test.

Ok I'll get that done...yeah so I'm guessing a couple weeks would do... But still what can I do about the flooding? I pulled the plugs and whipped them on the nearest cloth next to me n it smells straight up like fuel... Also on the tip of the plugs the little white below the electrode had some black stuff on it I just whipped off best I could. Should I use a certain spray?

Correct the firing order. Replace the plugs. If you don't replace the plugs after you correct the firing order don't come back bitching it still won't run right. I suggest cheap Autolit #3923 for a stock M44 and #3922 for boost applications.

Correct firing order, replace plugs. Drive 150 miles and pass emissions.
