This is from the haynes manual as best I can reproduce it.

I made the mistake of assuming the coil pack diagram was the same as the cylinder layout. It wasn't pretty.

-edit- That came out all messed up but I think you should get the idea.




MarkO-where do you live? You just saved my ass!!! Holy crap! I changed my wires today, threw 3 CELs! Cylinders 2, 5, and 6 IIRC were misfiring. I gotta wait till it cools off and I'm gonna give it another shot. Dude, muy thankos.

It sounds like FastFordFreak did the exact same thing as me! Hot dog, I'm finally gonna get to drive a real car for the first time in 2 weeks!!!
