About the NGK COP Ignition Coil Product Line

The NGK COP Ignition Coil line focuses on coil-on-plug technology, eliminating the need for spark plug wires and improving ignition efficiency. This product line is engineered to provide precise spark timing and reliable electrical connections, which are critical for distributorless ignition systems like those found in the Mitsubishi Lancer. The NGK COP Ignition Coil 48742 is part of this line, offering a direct fit replacement with quality components designed to meet OEM specifications.

Product Details and Specifications

This ignition coil operates at 12 volts and is specifically designed for distributorless ignition systems, which are common in modern vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Lancer. The coil-on-plug (COP) design allows the coil to mount directly on the spark plug, reducing energy loss and improving ignition reliability. It features blade-type terminals with three terminals total, ensuring a secure and stable electrical connection. The connector is female, while the terminal gender is male, matching the vehicle’s wiring harness for proper installation. This coil is not oil-filled, which is typical for COP coils, and does not include a mounting bracket, so it mounts directly to the spark plug assembly.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for faulty or worn ignition coils in Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles
• Resolves engine misfires caused by weak or inconsistent spark delivery
• Addresses rough idling and poor acceleration linked to ignition coil failure
• Helps eliminate hard starting issues related to ignition coil malfunction
• Improves overall engine performance and fuel efficiency by restoring proper ignition timing

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the NGK COP Ignition Coil 48742, ensure the ignition system is off and the engine is cool. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector by pressing the release tab on the female connector. Remove the old coil by unscrewing or unclipping it from the spark plug. Install the new coil directly onto the spark plug, making sure the blade terminals align correctly with the vehicle’s wiring harness. No mounting bracket is included, so secure the coil as per the vehicle’s original setup. Verify all connections are tight before starting the engine.
