Where do you find the coil in a e 150 van?

The location of the ignition coil(s) in an E-150 van depends heavily on the year and engine type. There's no single answer. E-150 vans have used various engines over the years (V6, V8, different displacements) and the coil placement changed accordingly.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Find your van's year and engine type: This information is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb or in your owner's manual.

2. Consult a repair manual specific to your year and engine: This is the most reliable method. A repair manual (like a Haynes or Chilton manual) will have diagrams showing the location of the ignition coil(s).

3. Use an online repair database: Sites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and others often have repair guides and diagrams available if you enter your vehicle's information.

4. Look near the distributor (if applicable): Older E-150s with distributor ignition systems will have the coil mounted nearby. However, many modern E-150s use coil-on-plug (COP) ignition systems where each spark plug has its own individual coil directly mounted on top of it. In this case, you'll find the coils spread out along the top of the engine.

Without knowing the year and engine of your E-150, it's impossible to give a precise location. Using the steps above will get you the most accurate result.
