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.

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.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the NGK COP (Pencil Type) Ignition Coil 48871, ensure the ignition is off and the engine is cool.
