    The connector is colored grey and is on the passenger side of the car on the right side of the center console viewed if you are sitting in the drivers seat
    To burn out two ignition coils you either have bad parts or high resistance in the secondary ignition. Either the carbon brush in the distributor cap is damaged, the dist cap is bad, or plug wires and plugs but most likely the dist cap carbon brush is bad.
