But ... #1 cyl is pas side front cyl . 1 2 3 4 front to rear pass side . 5 6 7 8 front to rear driver side . Front being the radiator end of the engine , rear is at the firewall /windshield end .

and also the cam censor is located at the number one cylinder, is this not true? and the cam censor is located at the same. the furthest forward on the driver side or right side (as facing) the engine. so I would believe that the order of the cylinder is on the drivers side 1-4 and on the passenger side 5-8. any one correct me if I am wrong!

the cam sensor is located on the drivers side. on the furthest forward cylinder. Im looking at it right now. just under the drivers side coil. and please gentlemen I have know always that the furthest forward is the number one cylinder. and I don't see any actual numbers located anywhere on the block. now if I am wrong then please clearify and explain to me how the cam sensor is located on the number 5 cylinder. and not the number 1.

the funny thing about this is I was just thinking today what was the firing order cause I need to redo my plug wires. lol and I was looking on the coil packs and trying to figure out what plug wires go where, and there are numbers on the coil packs that didn't quite match where the plugs wires were going. then you guys bring up the cylinder order. thanks much for figuring this out for me. I would have really screwed things up had I gone with the other way.

ok, I bow to the masters. and let me make sure I got this correct. the crank sensor is on the number 1 cylinder and the cam sensor is on the number 5 cylinder. and the order of cylinders are as follows driver side or left bank are 5 - 8, and passenger side right bank are 1 - 4. am I following you correctly? so it was actually the number 1 cylinder that locked up on me?
