Answer
Hi Dana,
The coil is in the distributor if we are speaking of a 2.5L V-6 engine. To remove the distributor:
remove the bolt holding the air intake resonator to the intake maifold
loosen clamps holding air cleaner cover to air cleaner housing
remove PCV make-up air hose from air inlet tube
loosen hose clamp at throttle body
remove air inlet tube, resonator and air cleaner cover
remove EGR tube
remove spark plug cable from distributor cap
loosen distributor cap hold down screws and remove cap
note position of rotor and remove rotor
you will want the rotor to be in that same position when assembled
remove 2 harness connectors from distributor
remove 2 sets of disrtributor hold down nuts and washers from studs
remove bolt and spark plug cable mounting bracket from top of distributor housing
remove bolt and transmission dipstick tube
carefully remove distributor

Do not rotate the engine while this is in process or you will have to establish the proper rotor position.

Assembly is basically the reverse make sure that the o-ring is in good condition or replace it
