OK, so did this fix your problem?

And FYI, the cylinders are number 1 through 4 from front to rear, so the coils would have the non-sequential numbering, not the cylinders.

+1 on that.

I have much shorter Volvo wires which you can actually follow from coil to plug.
Sold but not forgotten

This is whats wrong with your car.

Broheim, this is the same thing as in the picture. I assure you it's not wrong. Just rotated 45 degrees.

Wonder if someone installed the coil packs in his car in a different order and just moved the coil input wires back at some point? LOL That would be evil....

Yup, they are different.  You'll have to chase those wires back to the DME.  Won't take you long.

Just get the pinout numbers and check resistance from the DME harness to the coil harness. For example when you plug into pin #25 and you find the resistance on the other end, that will be cyl #1. Then move that to position number one as I showed in the diagram. You will also need to go to the boneyard and get the bracket to mount the coils correctly.
