remove the ignition coils on the intake and they are underneath it. your vehicle has distributorless ignition, therfore there aren't any spark plug wires, instead it has individual ignition coils with the spark plugs directly underneath them.
I just got quoted $1,200 for 6 coils & plugs on the 2005 Escape. Ugh.
"Ignition" is a system, of which the coils, spark plugs, wires and other components are a parts of. You need to be more specific with your question.
The coils die faster than the plugs! The RX8 Irridium plugs need to be changed at 25,000 miles per the maintenance manual. Replace the plugs and ignition coils when the car won't rev over 9,000 rpm smoothly.
On top of the spark plugs.
You have to remove the coils, no trick there.
Remove each of the coils then remove and replace the plugs
There are six (6) ignition coils and six (6) spark plugs for a V8 3.5 liter engine.
The spark plugs are located under each of the ignition coil modules on 2008 Chevy Colorado. It is necessary to remove the coils and related wiring to access and replace them.
Coils are over spark plugs.
Replacing ignition coils will not guarantee that your misfiring codes will disappear nor that it will solve the problem. I had the same problem in my 2000 CE and so far, after replacing spark plugs, wires, coils and testing the fuel injectors haven't been able to fix the problem. However if you want to replace the coils it is rather simple. It has 3 coils located on top in front of the engine. Detach the wires and unscrew the bolts and you should be able to pull them out and replace them in the same way.
Sounds like a 2.3 quad 4 motor. There is a "panel" on the top of the motor, called a housing cover. It has the ignition module and ignition coils under it. Below them are boots (replace them) and the plugs.
