The cylinder identification is (starting on the passenger side front of the engine and going back) 1/2/3 and (starting on the front driver side of the engine and going back ) 4/5/6.

The firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6.
The above info can be found with a Google search.

The ignition wires are routed from the coil to the spark plugs. The ignition coil pack is numbered as shown in the video. The numbers on the coil pack corresponds to the particular cylinder that each coil tower fires . The wires should be connected to the coil towers. The opposite end of each wire should connect to the spark plug that is located in the cylinder indicated by the number on the coil.

Note: If you have a misfire, do not continue let the vehicle run in this condition. Driving or letting your vehicle run with a misfire can damage your catalytic converters. When a vehicle has an ignition misfire it allows raw fuel to enter into the exhaust. This will burn up the catalytic converter. Also, in rare instances it is possible that driving or running the vehicle with a misfire could damage the engine mechanically.
