2002 Mercury Sable 24V DOHC Error Code
285

Asked by Hkydaf Mar 18, 2016 at 10:45 PM about the 2002 Mercury Sable LS Premium Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2002 Mercury Sable 24V DOHC  with 62K miles on it.  The engine light came on this morning - first blinking and now is on as soon as I start the car.  Took the car to Autozone and had them run an error code check.  Returned a P0305 - Cylinder #5 Misfire detected.  Is this a spark plug issue or an engine coil issue.  Looked up the engine coil and it looks like there are 3 bolts holding in place so it looks pretty easy to replace.  Is that true or should I take to the shop to have them do it.

I looked at the engine coil at autozone and O'reilly auto parts and they want about $82 for the part that has all 6 coils. My questions are 1) is there a place I can get them a little cheaper even if I order it online and 2) where are the coils located on the engine? Are they under the black panel right at the front of the motor?
