Default Which Cylinder is #3?

okay. So. My beloved baby is having some issues and being that it’s my daily... well... trying to stave off looming depression.

So. I got that nifty Po303 code. engine is idling rough. It’s an automatic 2008 limited. Only thing is, I’m not super sure which cylinder is 3. So. I need some help. Looking down at the engine where the passenger side is on my left and driver on my right is this the order?

P D
5 6
3 4
1 2

OR

P D
3 6
2 5
1 4


I bought a new coil pack and changed out what I thought was #3 but still throwing same code. Wires and plugs are next (just had plugs changed though).

If anyone one would be willing to help me figure this one out I’d really appreciate it. Would like to take this cute bar tender I’ve been talking to out to dinner sometime soon. I’m happy to post results on both if any of y’all can help me out.

Hey all!!!!

solved it. Some shining excuse for humanity didn’t get the wire on the spark plug on the right plug on #3. This caused the plug on the left to go as well. Both had CRAZY amounts of carbon build up. Like I’ve seen less carbon in my grandad’s ash tray.

switched out both plugs and she purrs.

now to get that bar tender out for dinner.
