The 4.7L engine uses coil-on-plug ignition, meaning each cylinder has its own coil directly mounted on top of the spark plug. They're usually arranged in a "V" shape following the cylinder arrangement of the engine.
To find cylinder #2's coil:
1. Locate the engine's firing order: The firing order for the 4.7L is typically 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. This is crucial. You need to know the sequence to correctly identify cylinder 2.
2. Identify Cylinder #1: Find the number 1 cylinder (usually marked on the engine block or easily identifiable near the front of the engine on the passenger side for this engine). Then, using the firing order, trace which cylinder is #2.
3. Locate the coil: Once you know where cylinder #2 is, the coil will be mounted directly on top of it.
Important Note: Always consult a repair manual specific to your year and model vehicle for the most accurate information. A diagram in the manual will visually confirm the location. Improperly connecting ignition coils can lead to engine damage.
