Where does the spark plug wire labled 1-5 go to?? (Which Plug?)

I have ruined it and wonder how hard it is to access the plug it goes to so I can replace the wire?

Thanks!

Upper #5

Chris is correct (Duh!). #5 is the middle cylinder on the right side when standing at the rear facing the engine - under the airbox.

Unfortunately it's one of the ones that goes under the intake, they're fun to replace.

I only knew since its written on the wire that is pictured

At this point it may be more cost and labor efficient to get a crimping tool and buy the plug and fix it, instead of having to buy the whole ignition wire and disassemble the intake.

Yes, I wonder how hard it is to get the rubber cap off the wire and reassemble the wire?

Guys,

In looking at the related photos I am seeking help on removing the primary (?) distributer cap that is the lower one. I have done a search and read Robin's original posting in Distributor cap/rotor R&R. I got the upper one done and as "Bozo" said I am now running on 1 1/2 plugs/cylinder...that guy is a riot!

Anyway, any tips before I strip out the lower screw of the lower distributor?

Too bad it's not the lower (exhaust) #5. The loweres don't really do anything anyway do they?

I agree I left all the lowers off my car. Have not noticed any change in performance

They only burn any fuel that may have dribbled down from the top.....

as you've seen above, I - 5 = Intake plug of cylinder #5.
accessing the plug isn't too bad, there are maybe 2 of 12 that are harder to get to...., but removing the looms from the fan housing if you don't remove the varioram IS NOT FUN.

#1 on buying a crimp end and trying to repair existing wire first.

Mark Robinson might sell you one.

Thanks for the tips guys...I should know better than to pull on the wire but impatience got the best of me. I am going to have my local Porshce guy see if he can repair the wire tommorow as i have a road trip planned for this weekend! Wish me luck and next time I will...........

The Beru M3 threaded sleeve terminal ends are threaded and screw into the caps.

You can get them from either Porsche or Kingsborne.

Porsche part number: 911 609 310 00, $1.17 each from Sunset.
Beru part number: 0901300003

The downside is the cost of the crimping tool: $325 and worth every penny, I am sure. A rental loaner would be nice.
