- 1). Put your safety first. Mazda recommends you disconnect the negative battery cable and set your emergency brake any time you do work on your car.
- 2). Pop the hood and locate the plug hole plate. You need to remove it to access the Mazda6 ignition coil. You should be able to lift the plate off.
- 3). Determine whether you have a turbocharger on your engine. The 3.0L (Aj) and the Mazdaspeed6 engines both use a turbocharge, while the 2.3L (L3) engine doesn't. If you have a turbocharger equipped, take off the charge air cooler.
- 4). Disconnect the electrical connector from the Mazda6 ignition coil. You may need to release a lock by pressing down on a clip or squeezing the electrical connector.
- 5). Remove the damaged ignition coil and replace it with a universal or stock replacement ignition coil.
- 6). Reconnect the electrical connector and tighten the fasteners with a torque wrench to 54 inch pounds.
- 7). Put the plug hole plate back on and reconnect the battery.
