Im pretty sure im loosing a coil pack on my 2.8 30v. My #6 cyl has misfired a few times, I have a rough idle and hesisatation, so im pretty sure its coilpack after elimiating spark plugs and fuel as a possible culprit.

However I am not sure how the "coilpack" works on these cars... I am used to having a distributer car so from looking at the car real quickly there appears to be one coil pack per 2 cylinders, (the one in question being #3 and #6 on the same pack?)

Is that correct? Or wrong? If wrong where is the coil pack and how many are there and what should I pay for one?

thanks.

You're right...one "coilpack" for two cylinders, so if that was the issue, you'd likely see both cylinders misfiring. If you're sure that the plugs and injectors are good, that leaves the wires.

Additionally, what is the best brand that people have had experience with?

I don't know the plug intervals on the V6 engine. For the wires, you could probably change out the wires every 90K...Kris Hansen might have a better idea.

Magnecore is one of the aftermarket alternatives, but I've read conflicting opinions on those...so perhaps OEM is the best bet.

You don't need to replace them every time you do plugs.

Gracias.

if the misfire follows the wire, then its a wire. If not, then it could be a CP
