spark plug wire problem
 

So i pulled a code for a misfire on cylinder 2. I replaced the spark plug wires oneat a time and when I went to start the car it ran horrible. The only thing I can think of is that i switched the wires somehow. Can anyone clarify the location of the cylinders? Here is what i have-Cylinder 1 is on the bottom left corner, next to the right is 3 and then 5, on the top left is number 2 to the right is 4 and then 6. Also it seems as though a sensor has come disconnected. It runs into the same bundle as the 02 sensor and is very short. I cannot see where it would plug in. Please help I need my car to head to vegas to party!!!

which engine do you have?

3.8 n/a

On my s/c 3.8 series II, the cylinders are as follows:

Looking at the engine, the side of the engine facing you is cylinders 1,3,5 from left to right.
The other side is 2,4,6 from left to right.

I believe there's no difference in cylinder layout between the n/a and s/c. If this is wrong, someone please correct me.

There's a sensor that's in the exhaust just before the down tube. You should be able to see it looking from the driver's side between the engine and the firewall.

Thanks for the help. I went out this morning thinking that maybe it was the new wires that were bad. I put on the old ones and now the car wont even start. I know which sensor you are talking about but it is a different one. This one has a wire that is only about 6 inches long. If someone could confirm that it doesnt plug into anything that would help a lot.
