First, see if the each coil is getting the required voltage from the ignition switch (probably 12V). If they are, you can check the resistance of the coil with a simple volt meter. Should read minimal resistance. If the meter reads OL then the coil windings are open (defective/bad).
The 3.0 litre V6 engine in a Lincoln LS has ( 6 ignition coils ) with the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system
The Lincoln LS , 3.0 liter V6 engine has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P.) ignition system so there are ( 6 individual ignition coils )
On a 2005 Lincoln LS : Both size of engines have the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system The 3.0 liter V6 engine has ( 6 coils ) The 3.9 liter V8 engine has ( 8 coils )
On a 2005 Lincoln LS , 3.0 litre V6 engine : ( there are 6 separate ignition coils with the Coil On Plug ignition system )
Your 2002 Lincoln LS 6 cylinder has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system with ( 6 ) individual coils
firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front of Lincoln LS ( V8 )
In a Lincoln LS , 3.0 liter V6 engine : firewall 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4 front of vehicle
There are no "position #'s" for the coils, the position numbers are for your cylinders, the coils can be interchangable, one fits all. Hope that helps.
Usually that is caused by one or more compromised ignition coils. Common problem on the LS. Water migrates along wires through to the ignition coils that are just above the spark plugs. Water rusts and thus compromises ignition coils. Oil infiltrates through gasket and soaks coils thus compromising them. Problem is reputed to be occasional, but I have a feeling that this occurs all too often. Many if not ALL LS owners suffer through this.
On your Lincoln LS , 3.9L V8 engine : The engine cylinder locations ( with individual coils ) are numbered : firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front of vehicle > driver Answer this question...
no such thing... 6 or 8 individual ignition coils on top of the spark plugs wired directly to the computer...
The Lincoln LS ( 3.0 V6 and 3.9 V8 ) engines have the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P.) ignition system with either six or eight individual coils . So you do not see the " normal " spark plug wires
