How do I find #1 TDC?

[jwestpnw]

I'm not sure which cylinder is the #1. I have a 98 pathy.

Thanks in advance

#1 cylinder in all of our rigs that have a V6, is the right front plug(when sitting in the drivers seat). Its also the closest plug to you when leaning over the front of your truck.

 

Here is a little more help...

don't forget, you hit TDC 2x in one rotation of the camshaft

the 2nd time (1 full crank rotation) is the exhuast stroke and your cams have only turned 180 degrees.
