Right on top of the engine in plain sight.

Check/change the spark plugs first. (4 NGK iridium plugs, about 25 dollars a plug)Plug wires next.Coils after that. (stock coils fail when spark plugs foul)If the issue is not resolved by the ignition fixes, get a compression check from a rotary knowledgeable mechanic.
replace cap and rotor. 25 dollars tops has new cap and rotor, might be the pickup coil in Distributor.
I have calculated it to be around 25 mpg. I base this on my 20 mile drive to work which is about 85% freeway driving
Any motor should get spark with or without gas in it. The ignition system works off electronics and does not require fuel for it to work. Yes you should get spark.
Yep you betcha! One of the best $25 you can invest in your engine. While you're at it, might as well do the plugs too. See "Related Questions" below for much more, with lots of tips and tricks on doing these replacements.
The spark plugs come pre-set. NGK B7HS-10. THe last (2) numbers of "10" indicate the pre-set gap.
You have to re-torque your spark plugs to 25 ft lbs. Common problem with Ford trucks
You may have the plugs wires installed incorrectly. You also may have the plugs gapped wrong. Here is the correct wiring order. Copy & paste into your browser. http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-8938.htm also after market spark plugs are NOT the same as factory spark plugs. always go with the brand that the factory installed for the best street performance and to avoid unwanted headaches, for instance my truck came with ac delco cr43ts , i installed autolite 25 that was given by the parts store. the truck absolutely refused to run right from the moment i started it after installing the new plugs. it was missing on nearly every cylinder. i returned the plugs and got the factory cr43ts plug, installed them, purred like a kitten. THE POINT IS , ITS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FAULT.
The spark plug gap for the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 liter 4-cylinder is .043 (in thousandths). The '03 Sunfire gets up to 25 miles per gallon in the city and 33 mph on the highway.Ê
Hi, you need a 25 torx and a spark plug socket w/ a 6 or 9" extension and a piece of tubing that is snug on the top of the plug. Remove the wire plug to the coil pack for each plug and remove the 2 #25 torx head bolts. Loosen the plug and with a piece of hose or tubing pull it out.
