Yes. The Generation 3 (1996-1999) 3.0L 24V DOHC Duratec V6 does use the same coil pack as the 3.0L 12V OHV Vulcan V6.

Be aware, the 2000 year model Duratec changes to a "Coil on plug" configuration and no longer shares parts with the 3.0L Vulcan.
Ford returns to an interchangeable Coil Pack on the Duratec in 2001-2003 year models, where they again change back to a Coil on Plug for the following model year configuration until the motor was no longer issued in 2005
The Generation 3 & 4 3.0L Vulcan never was Coil on Plug.
Bear in mind the Generation 1-2 (1986-1995) Ford Taurus Vulcans were a Distributed Single Coil Ignition system and are NOT compatible with the Generation 3-4 (1996-2007) Coil Pack Ignition Vulcans.
No , if you have the " Vulcan " V6 engine it has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) with ( 1 coil pack ) for the 6 spark plugs and if you have the " Duratec " DOHC , V6 engine it has the Coil On Plug ignition system with ( 6 ) individual coils
6 ========================================================== The above answer is correct if you have the 3.0 liter DOHC , DURATEC V6 engine in your 2004 Mercury Sable --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have the 3.0 liter VULCAN V6 ( and the flex fuel version ) it has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) and has ( 1 coil pack that has 6 towers for the spark plug wires )
I was looking at one of the Ford websites and it shows that for a 2001 Mercury Sable 24 valve ( the " Duratec " ) and for the 12 valve ( the " Vulcan " ) they both use ( 1 ) coil pack that has six towers on it ( both engines use the Motorcraft DG-485 ignition coil pack )
bad coil pack... replace coil pack
In a 2000 Ford Taurus with the 3.0 liter " Duratec " DOHC , V6 engine : firewall 1-----2-----3 4-----5-----6 front of vehicle
On a (2001 ) Ford Taurus : Yes , both the 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine ( and its flex fuel version ) and the 3.0 liter " Duratec " V6 engine have the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) which uses a coil pack ( with the 6 towers for the spark plug wires ) although the spark plug wire sets are different for the " Vulcan " and " Duratec " engines
HOW DO YOU TEST THE COIL PACK ON A 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE DOHC 6 CYL.
I was just looking at the 2002 Mercury Sable owners manual and the drawings of the " Vulcan " engine and the DOHC " Duratec " V6 engine When standing at the front of the vehicle , the dual over head cam engine has the engine oil fill cap on the left side of the valve cover ( passenger side ) where the Over Head Valve " Vulcan " engine has the oil fill cap on the right side of the valve cover ( drivers side ) and ( 1 ) coil pack with ( 6 ) towers next to the engine oil fill
On a 2002 Ford Ranger ( yes , one coil pack for each engine ) 2.3 liter DOHC four cylinder has ( 4 towers ) on the coil pack 3.0 and 4.0 liter V6 engines have ( 6 towers )
In a 2000 Ford Taurus : That would depend on which engine you have : The 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine has the EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) which has ( 1 coil pack ) with 6 towers for the spark plug wires The 3.0 liter " Duratec " V6 engine has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system and has ( 6 individual coils )
2 engines = 2 different locations: * 3.0 "Vulcan" - right in front on the top * 3.0 "Duratec" 24 valve - on top of the backside, little offset towards the drivers side. Either way, find a sparkplug wire and trace it to the other end - that'll have to be the coilpack.
yes, the dohc sl will fit. sohc 3000gt uses a distributer
