Coil Pack

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mercury Sable, 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A coil in a coil pack is turned on (coil charging) by PCM, and is turned off when 2 spark plugs are fired simultaneously. Spark plugs are paired so that one spark plug fires on the compression stroke and other spark plug fires on exhaust stroke. Next time coil is fired, order is reversed and next pair of spark plugs fire according to engine firing order.
