Unhappy Help! Help! need spark plug wire diagram 1998 es300

So, I decided to change my spark plug, fuel filter, valve gasket, and throttle cleaning this week. I finally finished in a hole day it was brutal, and I forgot how the spark plug are wiring. I know that I should have taken one at a time and replaced them as I go along, but I was trying beat the time. Can anyone share some light as to how their 1998 es300 spark plug wire diagram are. There are only three SPW coming from the valve cover to the back that's where I'm lost be'cuz I can't remember which one goes into which from front to back.
Let call the first one from left to right if you're looking from the radiator SPW #1( it's the one that is closer to the serpentine belt) then SPW #2 ,SPW #3( near alternator or battery)

Please help I need this car to start backup so I can get to work on Mon.
I'll be very thank to any one the help me.

I've finally fixed my error I got all the spark plug tension wire in order.
My car start right up without any engine shaking has full power, the engine light has gone away as well. I've learn my lesson next time mark and label the tension wires before removed.

My next job is to change the rear strut.

tony, this thread is 3 years old and kakarot is probably long gone. What is your specific question and what year ES300 do you have?
