Is it possible to replace the coil without replacing the whole unit?

yes you can...is the car not starting? If it is not starting it is usually the ignitghter that is no good(coil attaches to it in the dist) In most cases you will need a coil and an ignighter. These two parts usually cost almost as much as an entire distributor though

Well the car would run in town fine but die on the highway everytime at around 60 mph or if you exelerated to quickly. You could let it sit for a few mins and it would start again. The last time though it didnt start again and I had a buddy tell me his car did the same thing and it wound up being the Ignition coil.

yah that has all the sounds of an igniter and coil set....again I think the cost of a new dristributor is not much more that having the distributor rebuilt...plus the new one (from Mazda) comes with a new cap and rotor

Suggested Repair
The ignition coil is inside the distributor and can be replaced separately, but the symptoms point to both the igniter and coil. Compare parts cost with a new Mazda distributor, which often costs little more and includes a new cap and rotor.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 1995 Mazda MX-6 V6 asked where the ignition coil is located. The expert said it is inside the distributor and can be replaced alone, but a no-start is often the igniter. The car ran fine in town, died near 60 mph or under hard acceleration, then restarted after sitting until it finally would not start. The expert said that points to an igniter and coil set and suggested a new distributor may cost little more than rebuilding one, while including a new cap and rotor.
