As long as the 1&4 coil is connected to either cylinders 1 and 4, and as long as the 2&3 coil is connected to cylinders 2 and 3, it will run like normal. Technically, you can put coil 1 tower to cylinder 4, and coil 4 tower to cylinder 1. You can put coil 2 tower to cylinder 3, and coil 3 tower to cylinder 2. It doesnt matter. Get what i'm saying? 1342 doesnt work because you prob have coil 1&4 connected to cylinders 1&3. The coilpack are a pair of coils, each are dual tower. Wasted spark means that 1&4 fire at the same time, and 2&3 fire at the same time. If #1 is firing on the power stroke, that means that #4 is "wasting" spark on the exhaust stroke. Next to fire would be either #2 or #3, depending on how the cams are working. Lets say its #3, which means both 2&3 are firing, 3 is on the power stroke, and 2 is on the exhaust stroke. Next to fire would be #4, sice 180 degrees before that, it was beginningn the intake stroke..
