    low profile front/rear bumper, coil overs, 3 inch lift.
    WOrked on my 5 vz today to replace my valve cover gaskets and spark plug o-rings since I saw oil leaking on my exhaust.

    Finsihed it up but my engine runs like crap now. Their are really only two parts that I could see where I messed up, that I will have to check in the morning so I'm asking for help.

    1) What Coil packs go to which cylinder.

    5 6
    3 4
    1 2

    I have 5 to 2, 3-4 and 1-6. is that right?

    2) there was one electrical connector that I can't remember if it had something plugged into it or not. It was a male end, but I couldn't find any female loose female ends. The male end was by the No.1 cylinder right underneath plast timing belt cover. If anyone can send a picture with the time belt cover off that'd be great.

    BUt right now, engine vibrates pretty bad, and misfires, and I've seen the tachometer spike.

    Rough day.
