    Cylinders should start on teh driver side front as 1, 2 is passenger side front. Going in that order, the back one on the driverside should be #7

    Your coils should be mounted on top of the valve cover IIRC and therefore it's easy..I think it's unplug the harness to pack and pack from plug wire, then it's likely two 10mm bolts.

    In case i'm wrong.. please know..I totally shot all that from the hip.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    a 8 cylinder should be

    closest to the bumper, (reading from the pass side of car to the driver side) 1-3-5-7

    rear of engine 2-4-6-8

    your coils should be right atop the spark plugs, mounted on the valve covers.

    OK so if its FWD you said it correctly, Bill described a longitudinal set up like a RWD. I wasn't sure if the GXP was FWD or RWD, I remembered reading that the Holden that GM built in Australia was RWD.

    LOL I assumed "front" meant front of car. Yes, this diagram is correct. Front of motor is where the belts are.

    Hahaha... why the heck would I think the way I did... See, it's lucky I put the disclaimer on it. Turn what I said clockwise and it'll make sense.
