once again....can someone tell what the coil packs are?
-
Coil packs are what our cars have instead of a distrubutor. On my 2.0 they are on the valve cover, (on the 1.6 and 1.8 just follow the plug wires down and they will be connected to the coils), and they are what provide the spark to our plugs. I beleive all 3rd gen cars have have two coil packs one coil for two cylinders. On the 2.0 each coil sits on top of one spark plug, and they each have a plug wire that runs to the two other plugs.2003 Protege LX 2.0 (BJFP) Sport package (New motor at 24,885 miles on 5/26/05), 5 Speed.

OK... I got my NGKplug wires today in the mail... did the 1.5 minute install and TADA no more hesitation and a lot more throttle responce. Guess my coil packs are still good... luckily! oh and by the way ... I ordered my plugs from www.clubplug.net They were great to deal with and CHEAP!Last edited by sLoPrO2k; 07-03-2004, 03:27 PM.Comment

OK well... today the Pro started hesitating again.... checked the plug wires to make sure they were on good and they were. I guess I need to try to replace the coil packs. Can anyone tell me where I can order them from? I tried the local junk yards... no Pros. Does anyone have part numbers? And is that exactly what they are called....Coil Packs?Comment

In the 2002 FSM, what most people call the 'coil packs' that mount to the valve cover are referred to in the parts diagram as the 'ignition coils'. So I assume the latter is the official designation, at least for the 2.0L models.Originally posted by sLoPrO2k

this is gonna sound really stupid, but how do you get to the spark plugs? ive never really done any engine work before..where are the plugs located? and are the ignition wires under the valve cover? thanx
Comment

mine on the 1.6l are right on top the valve cover (wires), plugs are connected to those.Comment
-
sorry for the newb question agn, but how do you take the plugs out? does the wires just twist/pull out? man i feel so so stupid now... -_-'' Comment

The wires pull right off. You will need a socket extension and a spark plug socket to remove the plugs.Comment
