I know from a code scan that I need to replace ignition coil 6. But I don't know which coil is coil 6.

Hi,

If you look below, pic 1 shows the different cylinder locations. Note that the arrow in the picture is pointing towards the front of the vehicle.

The remaining pictures are the directions for replacing the coil.

Here is what I suggest to confirm the coil is the problem. Switch cylinder 6 coil with cylinder 5 coil pack to see if the misfire changes cylinders. If it does, then the coil is bad. If the misfire remains in cylinder 6, it could be something different causing the problem such as a spark plug or fuel injector.

Let me know what you find and if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
