Where is the ignition coil on a 1999 Tahoe?

The ignition coil on a 1999 Chevy Tahoe is typically located on top of the engine, near the distributor (if it has one) or directly over the spark plugs (if it's a coil-on-plug system). Because the 1999 Tahoe came with different engine options (a 4.8L, 5.7L, or a 6.5L diesel), the exact placement will vary slightly.

To find it definitively:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will have diagrams showing the location of all major components.

2. Use a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and engine will have detailed diagrams and instructions.

3. Look online: Search for "[1999 Chevy Tahoe [Your Engine Size] ignition coil location]" on YouTube or a car repair forum. Many videos show how to locate it.

Keep in mind safety: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working near any electrical components in your vehicle.
