The secondary aux air pump needs to be removed in order to access the coil pack secured to the block. Remember the bolt for the coil needs to be torqued down to 7ft lb.

The firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2 the engine from the passenger side to the drivers side, radiator side 1-3-5 and on the fire wall side 2-4-6
The 3 coil from the radiator to the fire wall. #1 coil 1-4 #2 coil 5-2 and coil #3 3-6 Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help. Its harder to explain then show, hope i made sense.
Have you checked for spark. Where did you get the coil? I have found that aftermarket coils do not work on these only the factory ones. I can't explain it. But I have one in my shop with a bad coil and got two from o'reilly and two from napa and both would do nothing. Got one from VW, car ran perfect. Checked the aftermarket coils and the resistance was different on the primary side of the coil.
cannot be specific, had a 98 (now a 99). remember they fire twice- compression and exhaust. if you don't get and answer soon, look up firing order and everyother one should fire together, limiting combinations to two. It doesn't care what stroke it is on
