My '95 Crown Vic has two coil packs, one on the front of each cylinder bank. Later models went to coil-on-plug. The theory is sound -- why run high voltage wire around when you can generate the high voltage on top of the plug itself? The problem is the coils are delicate compared to spark plug wire boots and are vulnerable to damage from ham-fisted removal, engine washing, etc.

Re: [MBZ] OT : VW passat OBD2 code
most of the 98 through 2000 models had problems with the coil packs on the 1.8T engines. They fixed this on the 2001 1/2 and later cars.

no cap or rotors on these cars, they have coil packs.
