Ignition Coil - Coil On Plug
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine uses 8 separate coil per plug units. Each coil per plug unit is controlled by the PCM.
Each coil per plug unit is mounted directly above each spark plug and activates its own spark plug in the correct sequence as controlled by the PCM.
Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article for additional information on the ignition system.
