If the coil looks the same you should be able to use it and only if the coil isn't mounted in the distributor.
4.0 L OHV ( VIN " X " ) coil---3----4 pack--2----6-----( COIL PACK TOWERS ) plug--1----5------( located on passenger side of engine ) FRONT OF ENGINE ------------------------------------- 4.0 L SOHC ( VIN " E " ) 5----1--coil 6----2--pack-----( COIL PACK TOWERS ) 4----3--plug------( located on drivers side of the engine ) FRONT OF ENGINE same order on coil pack , coil pack is just turned 180 degrees
Yes, both engines are practically the same bar the distributor and coil pack, but the camshafts are identical
Distributor has a center conductor that links to the coil via a wire the same size as your spark plug wires..
it depends on what motor it has.if its the 4cyl unplug the spark plu wires from the coil pack that is on the back of the motor.if its the 6cyl same thing but the coil pack is on the bottom front of the motor
The COIL PACK TOWERS are numbered : coil---3---4 pack--2---6 plug---1---5
All engines that use a coil pack are pretty much the same. One end of the sparkplug wire connects to sparkplug, the other to the coil pack. Just follow the wires.
I figured this same thing out by moving the coil pack around. Leave the plugs in place and try it on different cylinders to see if you get spark. I had been fighting to solve my issue, and turns out it was a $50 fix to replace a bad coil pack that misfired on three different cylinders.
The ignition coil is integrated with the distributor cap, they are one unit. On 3.3 Litre at least, probably the other engines too. If there's no coil wire to the distributor (should look the same size as the spark plug wires) then it's a good indication that the distributor is also the coil.
Lots of things. Fuel, timing belt broke, coil or coil pack, fuse, bad spark plugs, spark control or pick up in the distributor. What kind of car, how old, and how did it do when it wouldn't start the first time or what happened when it wouldn't? Many cars have the same thing happen so it helps to know what kind it is.
negative side of coil, or if electronic distributor it will have a port on the distributor, then its power wire and ground and then same for lights
With multiple misfires originating from the same coil pack, my guess would be to replace the driver's side coil pack.
