how do i know what coil to change on a chevy corsica,1995. or is there only 1 and where is it located?

Answer 1

If you don't even know how many coil packs your car has, or what they look like to locate them.....Maybe you shouldn't change them, and just hire someone else to do it!!!!

Answer 2

There are three coils on these motors for a v-6 and two coils for a four cyl. The coils sit on top of the ignition module. On four cylinders the coil/module is down the back of the motor. On the v-6 they sit either on the front side of the motor or at the back and top of the motor. The one to change is the one that is not firing or has it's coil towers corroded. If the coil isn't firing it could be an open wire as both wires have to be good to fire as this uses waste spark. The other wire is the one connected to the same coil. It also might not fire because of the ignition module being crapped out. Good luck.

Answer 3

there are two coils and they are behind the engine and about 2/3 of the way down the engine .they are hard to get to.the problem you may have with this car the wires come loose from the coils .check by pushing them back on before you buy anything. you can reach down behind the engine from the drivers side . it is hard to do . I have a large arm(size wise) and I can do it. follow the wires down and and try to push them back on.the coil... to check which coil is bad. wirh engine running remove one wire from a spark plug if the engine runs rougher put that one back on and go to the next spark plug .when you pull the spark plug wire off and the engine still runs the same that coil is bad.

Answer 4

Follow the middle wire on the top of the distributer and it will lead you right to it.

If I remember, 1980's and newer don't have the traditional coil, they have an electronic one.
