Default replacing ignition coils

I am going to change my coils this afternoon, but i don't have the owner's manual and i am having a hard time finding information in the order of the cylinders / coils . Does anybody has a diagram ? I need to replace coil 2 and 6.

I believe the order changed after a certain year, so what year is your car?

It is a 2001 3.0. According to the diagram i found in the FAQ the order goes like this (however, it showed an 8 cylinder instead of a 6)

7 8
5 6
4 3
2 1

Would it be the same order for my 6 cylinder just by omitting the last 2 cylinders of the diagram or is it different ? I also realized that the way the cilinders are aligned it looks like it goes just like this just because they are aligned in a step way, ex: first cylinder is to the left lower that the second one which would be at the right of the first one but a litle bit higher that the first one, and so on.

Also, i just changed the windshielf wiper motor. i found no ground connected to it but i see a spot for the ground. Any diagrams on this ? any website that would show how parts go ?

You do omit the extra cyls but that's the later-type diagram you posted. Yours is

fan
4 1
5 2
6 3
cabin

Look for JTIS

Ok, i changed the wrong coils :X, oh well. I have to clean the intake manifold, injectors and throttle body, however i can't find a throttle body gasket online, is it reusable ? I want to clean everything as i just ordered the valve cover gasket set, so i'm just gonna take advantadge of the car being apart for a few days and do some good cleaning in there. Anything else i should clean while i'm at it ?

I'm Guessing: Windshield
6 3
5 2
4 1
Radiator Fan

This right ?

No, you need to reverse Jagv8's description to view from the front.

Windshield

3 6
2 5
1 4

Radiator

A tip: if you have trouble visualising, write it on a bit of paper then turn it round.

K great, how about the windshield wiper motor ? does it take a ground or not ? I just replaced mine and plugged it into the wiring harness, and it still doesn't work.
