How do you change an ignition coil for 99 mercury cougar?

When changing an ignition coil on a 1999 Mercury Cougar, it is very important that all of the spark plug wires are put back on exactly as they were taken off. A set of markers will help to identify what wire goes where. Take off each spark plug wire one at a time and place it in the same position on the new coil. Before taking the wires off it will help to color code them with markers.
