Please let me know the year of car, 4 or 6 cyl, mileage when replaced, and what type of spark plugs were in the engine when the coil ign. pack went south. Thanks.

I had the coil pack and all six plugs replaced by my Ford dealer. The coil pack was coveredy my extended warranty. 96 Black SE 2.5L V6 ATX

I had factory spark plus/wires. I have a 1995 Ford Contour V6 Automatic. When there was a problem the car was idleing very high and it felt very jumpy (like it was missing). I had Ford diagnose that problem. 1995 Contour LX
