About the NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil Product Line

The NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil line focuses on coil-on-plug designs that provide direct ignition to spark plugs without the need for traditional ignition wires. This design reduces energy loss and improves ignition reliability. The 48711 part is a pencil-type coil specifically engineered for distributorless ignition systems, making it suitable for modern Mitsubishi vehicles requiring precise spark control.

Detailed Product Description

This NGK ignition coil 48711 operates at 12 volts and is designed for distributorless ignition systems found in Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, Lancer, and Outlander models. The pencil-type coil design allows it to fit directly onto the spark plug, eliminating the need for spark plug wires and reducing potential points of failure. Featuring blade-type terminals with a female connector and male terminals, this coil ensures secure electrical connections. It is not oil filled, which is typical for pencil-type coils, and does not include a mounting bracket, so installation requires using the vehicle’s existing mounting hardware.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for faulty or worn ignition coils in Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, Lancer, and Outlander
• Resolves engine misfires caused by weak or inconsistent spark delivery
• Improves starting reliability in distributorless ignition systems
• Addresses rough idling and poor acceleration linked to ignition coil failure
• Prevents check engine light codes related to ignition coil malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure vehicle ignition is off and battery disconnected before installation
• Verify compatibility with Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, Lancer, or Outlander models
• Use existing mounting hardware as the coil does not include a bracket
• Check blade terminal connections for secure fit and corrosion-free contacts
• Handle coil carefully to avoid damage to the pencil-type ignition coil body
