That's not really the firing order, that's the coil wire order, which is damned important on a Saturn because they use the difference in resistance between #1 and #4 firing instead of a cam sensor.

Mine is: 1-14-9-4-7-12-15-6-13-8-3-16-11-2-5-10. W16 engines are a little odd.

Touche. Then I don't know what the firing order is. But I assume it's something similar, because 1 & 4 and 2 & 3 move together when you spin the crank.

1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8

Same displacement, same manufacturer, and the first one is definitely more fun.

Why would a manufacturer start with the 4th cylinder?

I'm surprised to see so many 4-7 swappers here, I had no idea that cam was so popular!

Unfortunately I only have the 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 version... Also a one of these:

Wifey has a 1-4-3-2

One revolution of the eccentric shaft or one revolution of the rotor?

In reply to 1988RedT2:

That's the firing order for one complete revolution of each rotor.

The eccentric shaft is spinning three times faster than the rotor, as you can see by the letter B vs. the letter A.
