Getting the Wheeling Fever
I tried to replace the sparkplugs on my 97 sohc 3.5l montero and 6 hours later my car wont start. ( yes i know a 97 is a gen 2, but its the only year with a sohc 3.5l 24v)

The lights are blinking for front wheel drive as well. SO i clearly put it back together wrong.

I cant for the life of me find the firing order for our cars online ANYWHERE. if you have a 3.0 l its the first thing on google if you have a 3.5 dohc its listed.

I also have found the FSM to be one of the worst manuals ive ever worked with ( electrical and mechanical are separate, pictures mis labeled, necessary steps not mentioned)

SO basically im a bad mechanic and a poor researcher.

Can anyone take a picture of there plenum cover removed to i can try and see if all my vacuum lines and plug wires are hooked up correctly?

Need a Spot
As far as I know, all Mitsu 6G7 series V6s are 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Sorry it's tiny, but this is the best I could find for the plug wire routing:

There should be a sticker under the hood that shows the vacuum routing. But from what I've experienced, that's not usually the cause of a no-start condition.

Double check your cam and crank sensor connectors, the connectors at the back of the coils, the injectors, and the power transistor.
