On most enginges "a coil pack sits on top of each cylinder of the engine and serves as the ignition coil to fire the cylinder. " (http://www.mylemon.com/VW_18T.html)

On the 1995 Chevy Lumina Van the coils (Three of them) are on the passenger side of the engine in front of the alternator. They have spark plug wires coming out of each coil pack with the cylinder number on each wire. Just follow any spark plug wire from the plug back to the coils.

My Lumina's "Service Engine Soon" light came on as I tried to turn over the ignition. The engine turned over, however the engine seemed to be oscillating and shook the car. I turned it off, popped the hood. I couldn't find anything visually wrong. So I turned it over again, same idiot light and oscillation, however I noticed smoke coming from the electrical component up front under the exhaust manifold. This car is a 1996, w/ 155Kmiles and a new computer and 50K on the new trannie. I love the car and don't want to get rid of it, what should this be? Is it worth repairing? Is the smoke (like that of a burnt electrical component) related to the oscillation? I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you 1 Answer

1996 lumina, LS, 3.1L. We use only synthetic oil. I noticed the oscillation and idiot light together. the smoke was a couple of days later when i tried to trouble shoot.

Chevy Lumina 91 3.1 4dr...multi...I got a codes, 14 and 42...14 is heat temp high...and 42 is a ESC or EST Eletric Spark Timing, now I went and got a paper clip to pull these codes...it works. 12,12,12, and 14,14,14 and then 4..2 so it is 42...42 is behind the coil pack and then also it is connected to the crank sensor...What ever it is...I did check spark on the to top right side coil pack and the spark is powerful...removing 2 plug wires to test spark...so under that, change that and then the crank sensor...and the the Heat sensor for the water or radiator 14 code.
