Looking at the front of the Opti:
4 . . . 5
6 . . . 3
8 . . . 7
2 . . . 1

Cylinders, looking from the radiator to windshield:
8 . . . 7
6 . . . 5
4 . . . 3
2 . . . 1

Here's a quick check when it's cold and won' start or runs bad are the fans turning ?? If so you're computer is throwing an SES failure code that will assist in fixing this. Spark (opti) failures will most likely throw some kind of error code unless it's high voltage.
