About the NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil Line

The NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil product line focuses on distributorless ignition systems, providing a compact and efficient coil design that mounts directly onto the spark plug. This eliminates the need for spark plug wires, reducing potential points of failure and improving ignition reliability. The pencil type coil design is engineered to meet OEM specifications for voltage and terminal configuration, ensuring compatibility and performance in vehicles like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte series.

Product Details and Specifications

This ignition coil operates at 12 volts and is designed specifically for distributorless ignition systems, which are common in modern Hyundai and Kia vehicles. The cop (coil-on-plug) pencil type design allows the coil to sit directly on the spark plug, providing a direct and efficient spark. It features a blade terminal type with two terminals, a female connector, and male terminal gender to match factory wiring harnesses. The coil is not oil filled, which is typical for pencil type ignition coils, and does not include a mounting bracket, requiring installation directly onto the spark plug.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Replacement for faulty or worn ignition coils in Hyundai Elantra, Elantra Coupe, Elantra GT, Kia Forte, Forte5, Forte Koup, Rondo, Soul, and Tucson
  • Resolves engine misfires caused by weak or inconsistent spark delivery
  • Improves engine starting and idle stability
  • Addresses rough engine performance related to ignition coil failure
  • Prevents check engine light codes related to ignition coil malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil 48871, ensure the ignition is off and the engine is cool. Remove the old coil by disconnecting the electrical connector and pulling the coil straight off the spark plug. Install the new coil by pressing it firmly onto the spark plug until seated. Reconnect the electrical connector, verifying the female connector and male terminal align properly. No mounting bracket is included, so the coil relies on the spark plug for secure placement. It is recommended to inspect spark plugs and wiring harnesses during installation for optimal performance.

The NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil 48871 undergoes rigorous testing to ensure durability and reliable ignition performance.
