Where is the coil pack on a 2002 Lincoln LS 3.9?

Answer 1

There are 8 coil packs or units on the LS V8. Each one sits directly over the sparkplug well, 4 wells on each of the 2 heads. To access them you must remove the rectangular, plastic cover on each head and you will immediately see the coil packs for each cylinder. The plastic cover is secured with 8 bolts and the one passenger side is pretty easy to remove, but the one on the drivers side is a little tricky, especially when removing the lower bolt that is at the back corner, against the firewall. The one in front of the oil dipstick is a little hard too, but gentlely push the dipstick over slightly to access the bolt. If you need to replace a coil pack or spark plug, disconnect the electrical plug to the coil pack, remove the retaining bolt, and lift it out. The sparkplug is then visible down in the sparkplug well and can be remove carefully with the correct socket and extension.
