998cc What's the Firing Order? Does it even matter?

[DaniBoy]

Since the 998 is only a two-cylinder engine, does firing order even matter? I’m doing BajaRon’s plugs and wires, and like a fool, I pulled both OEM wires off the coil pack at the same time, and can’t remember for sure which goes where. Since a two cylinder just alternates between each other, does it even matter?

the longer of the two plug wires goes to the front cylinder, don't forget the antifreeze paste on the plug threads and the other stuff on the top electrode connection with the plug wire.

I must admit that I do not know if the Spyder has a wastefire system or not. But the right coil wire goes to the front cylinder, and the left coil wire goes to the rear cylinder in the stock configuration. Hope this helps.

Now, why didn't I think of that? Getting old is NO FUN! Well, not as much fun anyway...
