The Su model is SES. The 8th VIN character is a 2 and the motor is a flex fuel. I was told its a turbo The coil is located on the front valve cover and horizontally mounted. The four prong plug is located on the top drivers side of the coil. The car does not have aluminum heads and is not a dohc.

I believe all 3.0 cylinder ID is the same but placement of the wires from each cylinder on the coil towers is different and I just can't seem to find this anywhere. And its an after market coil so there is no numbers.

Like I said the simple thing to try is just as they are laid out. The coil is a picture of the wiring 3 each side front to back.

Thanks so much for your help, I found the right order on my friends shop key for future reference it is. Cylinder ID. From passenger rear to drivers rear 1 2 3. Passenger front to drivers front 4 5 6. The coil is passenger rear to drivers rear 1 2 3 and passenger front to drivers front 5 6 4
