2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 Firing Order and Cylinder Numbering
2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 Firing Order and Cylinder Numbering with application chart, generation boundaries, verification steps and official manufacturer lookup.
The 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0L inline-four firing order is 1-3-4-2. Cylinder 1 is at the timing-drive end of the engine, followed by cylinders 2, 3 and 4 toward the transmission.

This page is anchored to the 2013 Dart 2.0L Tigershark application. The 1.4L turbo and 2.4L are also inline-fours but use different timing, ignition and service components; classic rear-wheel-drive Darts with Slant Six or V8 engines are entirely separate.
The car uses coil-on-plug ignition, so there is no distributor cap to wire in firing-order sequence. Use the order to interpret combustion events and use physical cylinder numbering when diagnosing P0301–P0304; P0303 means cylinder 3, not the third event in 1-3-4-2.

Dodge Dart Firing Order Specifications
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Firing order | 1-3-4-2 | 2013 Dart 2.0L inline-four |
| Cylinder numbering | 1-2-3-4 | Timing-drive end toward transmission |
| Ignition layout | Coil-on-plug | No distributor-wire routing |
| P0301 through P0304 | Physical cylinder number | Not firing-sequence position |
The car uses coil-on-plug ignition, so there is no distributor cap to wire in firing-order sequence. Use the order to interpret combustion events and use physical cylinder numbering when diagnosing P0301–P0304; P0303 means cylinder 3, not the third event in 1-3-4-2.
Firing order versus cylinder number
Cylinder numbers stay in physical order from the timing-drive end: 1-2-3-4. The crankshaft's combustion sequence is 1-3-4-2. These two lists answer different questions and should not be substituted for one another.
A P0302 code identifies physical cylinder 2 even though cylinder 2 fires fourth in the sequence. Locate the cylinder first, then test its coil, plug, injector, compression and wiring rather than following the order around an imaginary distributor cap.
Why there is no plug-wire diagram
The 2.0L Tigershark uses an individual coil over each plug. The PCM controls coil timing from crankshaft and camshaft signals, so there are no high-voltage plug wires to arrange in 1-3-4-2 order.
The 1.4L turbo and 2.4L Dart also require their own component and timing procedures. A classic Dart may have a Slant Six or V8 distributor, so the modern PF-platform diagram must never be transferred by model name alone.

2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 Firing Order and Cylinder Numbering FAQs
What is the 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 firing order?+
The firing order is 1-3-4-2.
Where is cylinder 1 on the Dart 2.0L?+
Cylinder 1 is at the timing-drive end, with cylinders 2, 3 and 4 continuing toward the transmission.
Does P0303 mean the third cylinder in the firing sequence?+
No. It identifies physical cylinder 3, regardless of where that cylinder appears in 1-3-4-2.
Does the 2.0L Dart have distributor plug wires?+
No. It uses coil-on-plug ignition controlled electronically by the PCM.
