Default Stupid Question....is there difference between driver/pass coil packs?

Not a noob.....but was curious if there is a difference between driver side / passenger side of coil packs? meaning can the driver side rack go on the passenger side?
I would think there is due to firing order/wiring. And if so, how do you determine which side is which?

Thanks in advance!!!

They can be swapped directly. This comes in handy when tracking down the cause of a dead cyl, if the no fire follows the suspect coil, its bad. If not, its something else

Swapping coils does not affect the fireing order. Just make sure all your harness connectors are in the propper location. The same is true for injectors. You can swap injectors to help diag misfires.

I think he means can he take the complete coil setup (brackets and coils still connected to the harnesses) and swap them from one side to the other..

No, all the coils on an engine are identical. Yes, the coils assembled on their brackets work on either side.
