How to Insert the Cylinder Wires in the Correct Order for Chery A516?
2 Answers
Chery A516 cylinder wire sequence is 1342. Introduction to Chery A516: It retains the exterior design and technology of the A520. The Chery A516 utilizes a B-segment car chassis, resulting in an oversized body measuring 4552mm × 1750mm × 1483mm. Combined with the streamlined "Sky-line" design, the vehicle exudes an extraordinary presence. Introduction to Cylinder Wires: Cylinder wires, also known as spark plug wires, distributor wires, or high-voltage ignition wires, are the cables that transmit the high voltage generated by the ignition coil to the spark plugs. They are an essential component of traditional ignition systems, serving as the medium through which the ignition coil delivers its energy to the spark plugs.
I've repaired quite a few cars, including the common Chery A516 with its 1.6L four-cylinder engine. The firing order is usually 1-3-4-2—don't get it wrong. First, locate the ignition coil or distributor, which has numbered markings: Cylinder 1 corresponds to the leftmost spark plug at the front of the engine, Cylinder 2 is at the rear right, Cylinder 3 at the rear left, and Cylinder 4 at the front right. Just plug them in sequence. I've encountered cases where the order was reversed, causing severe engine shaking and even black smoke—definitely no joke. Before attempting this yourself, especially as a beginner, it's best to check the user manual or the label on the engine cover to ensure accuracy. If unsure, seeking help from a professional shop is safer, as incorrect wiring can affect acceleration, fuel consumption, and increase emissions. Regular maintenance should also include checking for spark plug wear to avoid unexpected wire breaks—taking these extra steps can save a lot of repair hassle.
