Which coil pack serves the intake side of engine on a 1996 Ford Ranger 2.3 liter?
On a 1996 Ford Ranger 2.3L engine, the coil packs don't directly serve the intake or exhaust side in the same way a distributor would. The 2.3L uses a distributorless ignition system with individual coil packs for each cylinder. Therefore, there's no "intake side" coil pack. Each coil pack is responsible for a specific cylinder. You'll need to consult a wiring diagram or a repair manual specific to your engine to determine which coil pack fires which cylinder.
