* Near the distributor (older vehicles): In older vehicles with distributors, the ignition coil is usually mounted on or near the distributor.
* Near the spark plugs (most modern vehicles): In most modern vehicles with electronic ignition systems (no distributor), the ignition coil(s) are typically mounted near the spark plugs, often on the valve cover or integrated into the spark plug boots. Sometimes they are even mounted directly to the spark plug. There may be one coil per cylinder, or a single coil for multiple cylinders.
* In the engine compartment: It's always located within the engine compartment, usually in a relatively accessible spot, but its exact position can vary widely.
To find the ignition coil on *your* specific vehicle, you should:
* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most accurate source of information.
* Use an online search: Search for "[your vehicle make, model, and year] ignition coil location" on Google, YouTube, or a similar platform. Many diagrams and videos are available.
Without knowing your vehicle's make, model, and year, I can't provide a more specific answer.
