I need to remove my number 6 ignition coil but

This video is to show how to do a compression test, but it will help with dis-assembly, and shows where all parts are located. The only thing I didn't see, was removal of the center cover above the plugs, ans coils. Kia Sportage 2001 Compression Test Definitely a help for plug, and coil change on 2001 Kia Sportage.

I assume this is the HEI coil. If not let me know and I can help further.
Instructions

1. • 1 Put your safety first. Engage your emergency or parking brake. Also, disconnect the negative battery cable from the Chevy Corvette's battery.
     
   • 2 Make the ignition system visible. On older models, you may need to remove the plenum extension for the intake manifold using a screwdriver or wrench. For newer models, remove the cover for the fuel rail.
     
   • 3 Look for additional parts that you need to remove. For HEI systems, you need to access the distributor through the cap. Other systems use an ignition coil harness connector.
     
   • 4 Disconnect the secondary wires, or spark plug wires, from the ignition coil. Tag each wire with masking tape, so you know which terminal to reconnect the wire to. If you connect the wrong wires to the terminals, your Chevy Corvette won't start.
     
   • 5 Detach the ignition coil mounting bolts and remove the ignition coil. The amount and type of bolts vary depending on the part number for the Corvette ignition coil. You may also need to remove the ignition coil arc seal.
     
   • 6 Clean the distributor cap with a soft cloth. Now is a good time to replace the seal, if needed. Insert your new ignition coil and secure it in place. As you reassemble, use a Torque wrench to tighten the mounting bolts or screws to 13 inch pounds (1.5 Nm) of torque.
     
   • 7 Reassemble the rest of the parts and reconnect your battery. Start the Chevy Corvette to ensure the repair worked.

You obviously have access to a code scanner so there are some things you can rule out and possibly fix the concern. Number six cylinder on the Exdedition is on the drivers side of the engine, second cylinder from the front. To do a backyard diagnosis, you will need to clear the code. This is easily done by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes then reconnnecting (I'll explain why). Next, remove the ignition coil on the # six cylinder. It is located on top of the engine and has one connector going to it and one small bolt holding it down, and usually black in color. You are marking it so that you don't mix it up. Now remove the # five ignition coil and install it where number six was. Put the marked coil in the number five hole. Connect both connectors.

Now drive the vehicle and allow the engine lamp to come on or to skip (misfire) a few times. Scan the vehicle for codes. If the code changes to a P0305 or # five misfire, then you know the ignition coil is bad. Replace the marked coil, disconnect the battery again to clear the code, then drive the vehicle and verify the repair. Other concerns could be a spark plug, injector, base engine concern or wiring. Good luck, let me know if you need more help :o)
Coils are the most common cause of misfire, especially after rain.

Not hard at all. Seven bolts and one connector. No computer work. But you need to know if it is the front coil or back coil. Front coil for cylinders 2, 4, 6. Rear for 1, 3, 5.

The coils are very simple to change. You will only need a socket wrench, extension and, if I remember correctly, a 7mm socket.

1. remove electrical connection on coil.
2. remove bolt holding down coil
3. twist and pull to remove coil
4. apply di-electric grease inside new coil
5. press onto plug
6. apply di-electric grease inside electrical connector
7. bolt down coil
8. reconnect electrical connection.

After you are done, you will wonder why the dealership charged you so much for something so simple that can be done in 15 minutes, taking a beer break between each coil.

To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.

The 3.5L (VIN H) engine's unique ignition system has the ignition coils directly over each plug. No spark plug wires are used.
If a coil is replaced on any of the 3.1L, 3.4L or 3.8L engines, it may not be numbered, as is the factory coil. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes in your guide to reflect how your engine is wired.

The firing order for the 3.1L VIN M, 3.4L VIN E, 3.4L VIN X and 3.5L VIN H engines is 1-2-3-4-5-6. The right bank cylinders are on the cowl side (rear) of the engine compartment and are numbered 1,3,5, left bank cylinders on the front side of the vehicle, are numbered 2,4,6.
The firing order for the 3.8L VIN K and 3.8L VIN 1 engines is 1-6-5-4-3-2. Starting at the front of the engine, cylinders in the left bank are numbered 1,3,5 and cylinders in the right bank are numbered 2,4,6

Hope helped (remember rated this help) Good luck.

There are two types of coil system on your Grand Am. I just can not recall which one's you have right now. There is the one that you need to replace the whole unit which controls all 6 spark plugs and the other system where there are three coils and each coil runs two spark plug. If you go to Auto Zone they can give you the right ignition coil system to the year of your car and they will have the step by step instructions to getting the job done with common tools. The other thing to is to have the ignition module check to make sure it's working right. A bad module will also not activate some of the coils or all or them. Good luck and hope this helps.
