The ignition module is located under the coil packs on the v-6 engine.
That is where the spark plug wires go to the spark plugs . When you remove the coil packs ,the flat peice is themodule.When you remove the module , the crankshaft sensor is sometimes located there ,and that also should be changed
YOU NEED TO NUMBER TAG ALL SPARK PLUG WIRES ON COIL PACK MODULE IN ORDER SO YOU PUT THEM BACK IN ORIGINAL PLACE.REMOVE ALL PLUGS WIRES FROM COIL PACK.THEN DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON COIL PACK MODULE THEN REMOVE COIL PACK.NOW YOU HAVE MORE ROOM TO GET TO BACK PLUGS.YOU NEED A LIGHT.A SMALL MECHANIC MIRROR.YOU NEED LONGER 3/8 EXTENSION.PROBABLY PLUG WIRE BOOT PULLER NOT MUCH ROOM TO PULL THE SPARK PLUG BOOT WITH HAND.
Are you trying to route the wires and need to know where the cylinders are. The numbers are on the coil pack. The 3 short wire are for the rear bank and the 3 longer wires are for the front bank. Number 1, 3 and 5 are in the rear with one being closest to the altenator. 2, 4 and 6 in the front with 2 being closest to altenator.
Johnny, It's probably the coil pack. If you follow the spark plug wires backwards from the plugs it will lead you to the part(s). There may be more than one. Check with the local autoparts place to see if they can test it for you. If not I would try a Junk yard first, incase that isn't the problem.
Follow the spark plug wires away from the spark plugs. The coil packs are on top of the ignition module. The coil packs have two terminals each and will have two spark plug wires attached to each coil pack. There are 3 coil packs and I would recommend replacing all three at once. They are bolted down to the ignition module bracket with a total of 6 small screws. Two per coil pack. Remove the small screws and the electrical connectors and the plug wires. Dont forget to mark the wires so you can replace them as you found them. Installation is just the opposite of removal.
I have no spark. Changed the CSS and still no spark. I also changed the Coil packs with a junk yard 1. Does anything else control spark other then ECM?
Thanks
