For the car scanned and it said cylinder 5 was misfiring horribly. So I went and got a used coil pack but I'm wondering what the order was for coils because I was told one of the coils would be causing the misfire because the idle was pretty rough. I just put in pregapped copper plugs and Delphi wires. But I put the newer coil on and not running perfect but better. Ideas?

Check your plugwire order.
See this thread for proper order--> http://www.grandprixforums.net/showt...t=firing+order

So this might be a dumb question but the coils have numbers on them say I put them back In order But say I had two 2&5 coil packs and used them for two different spots would that be bad or do they have to be all different?

the numbers on the coils are only there to guide you when putting the wires back on, you can swap the coils around. they dont know they have #'s on them.
you can take them and swap them around, as long as the wires are in the right place for each spark plug. so dont follow the #'s on them if you moved them.

So the order is 1-6-5-4-3-2
Do I start the 1 wire on the front then work my way back and end with 2 or vise versa?

as long as your wires are in this order you're fine.

Ok so I switched the coil that fires cylinder 5 with a newer coil alittle better but not running smooth I can still feel a little jog at 0-10 while stopping but nothing like it was. I made sure the order was right. Since its running better i doubt the coil is junk. Any ideas? I know my exhaust resignator is shot but would that change my idle at all?

Have you scanned again to see if any misfires are happening still? Might be an injector.

I got lucky with the mechanic doing the scanner for free I don't know of a place that uses a live scanner to check for misfires. If one injector was going bad wouldn't they all?

If you get a nail in one tire... does all four then go flat?
lol... Sorry, I had to!
But no, not necessarily (all going bad at same time).
That said, if I had a problem with an injector, I would rebuild, or replace them all, but that's just me.

Yup, just had this exact issue. Check the injector.
