Sequence of spark plug for 97 cavalier 2.2 is 1 3 4 2 do you hook up the wires that way too or hook up number 3 from the bottom to the number 2 on the top?

For a 1997 Cavalier 2.2, the firing order is indeed 1-3-4-2, but the spark plug wires should be connected in the same sequence as the firing order. This means you should hook up wire number 1 to the corresponding cylinder, followed by 3, 4, and then 2, in that order. Make sure to connect them according to the cylinder layout, with cylinder 1 typically at the front of the engine. Always refer to a repair manual for specific wiring diagrams if needed.
