Hi,

The vehicle has three ignition coils. When you open the hood, they will be to the left mounted on top of the engine. See pic 1 below.

The ignition coils are mounted on an ignition control module. The module has a wiring connection going to it.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe

Hi,

I would need to see the schematic/directions they provided. Is it possible for you to get a few pictures and upload them for me to see? Based on what you're asking now, it doesn't sound like it is related to the coils.

Let me know.
