It is behind the timing cover, just above the crank pulley. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

This is a follow up question to a previous question what I got is 2 coils, one per 2 cylinders I am getting spark through one coil and not the other, I have switched coils around so I know its not a bad coil would a faulty crank position sensor allow spark to one and not the other, timing belt is there and intact

If the coil is good, have the DIC checked. That is the part that the coils bolt into and get their power from.

Is there power to both coils? Sorry about the DIC. Some have it and others don't.
