I think this is correct - but as you say 'MarksDTM' is bound to be along soon.
If not, try a 'PM' to him, he's the man here!

Nope, coil pack is

1-3-5
4-6-2

And hence is often got wrong resulting in a miss fire!.

Its the above because the firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 and it uses the wasted spark i.e. 1-4, 2-5, 3-6

And hence there are 3 coils in the DIS pack giving the above arrangement
