Hi Aaron, The three cylinders you mention on the passenger side, firewall should be 4,5.6. The numbering goes (from the passenger side front going back towards the firewall) 1,2,3,4,5,6, then continuing from the firewall forward on the drivers side, 7,8,9,10,11,12.The number one cylinder on the driver"s side is number seven.

I noticed misfiring, so I pulled the plugs.I found 3 cylinders in a row getting little or no spark - those cylinders are on the passenger side closest to firewall (7,8,9?). The dist. cap seems in good condition, so I will test plug wires tonight. Even on 9 cyl, it is sounding good, very loud with VW stingers, but not good enough.Any ideas other than wires or cap to cause this problem? Also, I sent my newly arrived title (copy) to Stephania at the factory, and found out she is on maternity leave until June.So if you are waiting for your build document, you may want to check with francesca.spagna@lamboorghini.com that is what I got as an out-of-office reply, but I think it should be francesca.spagna@lamborghini.com I suppose that francesa is not getting many e-mails having the Lambo name spelled wrong. Aaron (getting closer with 586)
