Default Blowing engine ig fuse

I blew a engine ig fuse today. Replaced all 4 coil packs, disconnected both O2 sensors, still blows. The weird thing is, if only 4 coils are plugged in, the fuse doesn't blow. Looking at a wiring diagram there's a ignition capacitor. Does anybody know where that's located or ran in to this issue even after replacing coil packs?

It's location is shown in the picture you posted. It's just a small black plastic square with a bolt holding it in place.

Thanks, but i was looking more for where its located, ie. "A bolt holding it in place" on the block, head, firewall, intake, transmission, or any other metal surface on that side of the engine bay.

Default FIXED

Fixed it. The issue had nothing to do with the coils. The common ground underneath the air filter was corroded and the ground spot was rusted. going to run a dedicated ground to it. So if anybody's ms6 (and probably any first gen 6) died out and keeps blowing fuses, check the ground point under the air filter (ps. bring a good set of vice grips to get the stupid rubber head bolt out.)
