On a 2002 Mercury Sable :
I assume the coil pack towers are numbered the same as any other
Ford / Mercury six cylinder coil pack that I have seen :
coil---3 - 4
pack--2 - 6
plug---1 - 5
------------------------------------------------------------------
Also the engine cylinder locations on your V6 Mercury Sable are numbered :
firewall
1-----2-----3
4-----5-----6
front of vehicle > driver
The firing order is ( 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 )
I was looking at one of the Ford websites and it shows that for a 2001 Mercury Sable 24 valve ( the " Duratec " ) and for the 12 valve ( the " Vulcan " ) they both use ( 1 ) coil pack that has six towers on it ( both engines use the Motorcraft DG-485 ignition coil pack )
No , it has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) with a coil pack that has ( 6 ) towers
There is not a single "coil" as in the old days.Each pair of cylinders gets their own coil, which are all bundled together into a single coil *pack*.You'll find the coilpack at the other end of the sparkplug wires.See "Related Questions" below for more about coilpacks, wires & sparkplugs
A 2002 Mercury Mountaineer has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) With the 4.0 L , V6 engine there is ( 1 ) coil pack With the 4.6 L , V8 engine there is ( 2 ) coil packs
No , coil pack
HOW DO YOU TEST THE COIL PACK ON A 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE DOHC 6 CYL.
6 ========================================================== The above answer is correct if you have the 3.0 liter DOHC , DURATEC V6 engine in your 2004 Mercury Sable --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have the 3.0 liter VULCAN V6 ( and the flex fuel version ) it has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) and has ( 1 coil pack that has 6 towers for the spark plug wires )

The coil "pack" is a single component - even though the common name could lead you to think otherwise. It's more descriptive in a technical sense than the practical. So you purchase a coil that serves all 6 cylinders. (about $60-85) See "Related Questions" below for more about coils...
No. 1 spark plug tower location on coil pack 2002 Jetta 2.0 Engine
Typically the coil pack is mounted directly to the engine block. Follow the spark-plug wires from the cylinder to wherever they plug in. That's the coil pack.
I was just looking at the 2002 Mercury Sable owners manual and the drawings of the " Vulcan " engine and the DOHC " Duratec " V6 engine When standing at the front of the vehicle , the dual over head cam engine has the engine oil fill cap on the left side of the valve cover ( passenger side ) where the Over Head Valve " Vulcan " engine has the oil fill cap on the right side of the valve cover ( drivers side ) and ( 1 ) coil pack with ( 6 ) towers next to the engine oil fill
