Product Details

This NGK ignition coil is designed for direct replacement in COP applications where the coil mounts at the spark plug location and works with the vehicle’s distributorless ignition system. The NGK COP Ignition Coil line is developed for broad coverage across domestic and import vehicles, with testing performed under demanding conditions to verify performance beyond normal operating environments. If you are servicing a Ford Expedition, Ford F-150, or Lincoln Navigator, part number 48874 provides an OE-style ignition solution with the correct electrical and connector configuration.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition FD-509 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent spark output
• Engine misfire conditions related to coil failure
