Are all kinds of cylinder numbering systems & I have not found which if any is specified by OBD-II. In many cases it does not matter but for a P0303 it does.


Just learned a long time ago to assume nothing particularly since there was a phase in my life where if I made a mistake someone else made a large smoking hole in the ground. When dealing with computers being a bit AR is not a bad thing.


Also know that MB is a bit of an oddball with #3 being the rear passenger (LHD) side cyl and not the center like on a Chrysler. Buick V6 (also 90 degree) is oppo.


ps if I am wrong please state what is right with a source.
Computers do not lie, they are not smart. They do what they are programed to do. Bad code or failed components they may spit out rubbish but they did what the available input caused to happen on what was available.

I had a code set which said my problem was in the left front wheel speed sensor, it actually was the rear left speed sensor. That same thing had happened here before to another member, so someone somewhere made an error that affected scanner programs and the printed sheet of DTCs. Or did they, maybe some conflicting inputs caused the wrong readout, who knows. I do know it cost me much agro and $400.
