no problem its 1-4-6-3-2-5 from left to right (facing front of car) and pass front cylinder is #2

so are you saying cyl #2 is closest to the firewall on pass side or the cyl you can see

Cylinder #2 is on the passenger side of the front bank (visible one).

What order do the spark plug wires go on to the coil packs on pontiac grand prix gt V6?
In: Spark Plugs and Wires, Grand Prix SE [Edit categories]

Answer

Looking at the coil-packs directly in front of you, it goes...

1,4 6,3 2,5... (left to right)...

1,3,5,plugs are in the back very close to the firewall.
2,4,6, are the front plugs closest to the radiator and fans.

Don't forget!!! If you are changing the plugs or wires make sure to dis-engage the upper motor mounts (dog bones) and tilt the engine forward .carefully, secure it. Its a whole lot easier to get at the back plugs and wires
It cuts your tune-up time in half.
Good Luck,
