van wont start

The coil is located at the left-rear of the engine compartment, it's at the other end of the wire that is connected to the center of the distributor cap. You can replace the wires separately from the coil. Very rarely do the coils go bad so be sure it's bad before you replace it. Usually, if there's no spark (check it), the distributor has failed. Make sure you have lost spark and it's an ignition problem and not a fuel problem. Here's a directory link for you: http://repairpal.com/mazda-repair-in-lihue-hawaii

The coils are under the manifold. Well 1, 2 and 3 are to the back of the top of the vehicle. 4, 5 and 6 are in the front. I'm sure you no longer have this vehicle but maybe someone else may see this and it will help them.
