Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plugs for Ford Escape (2020-2023) 2.5L

Direct-Fit Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Service Kit for 2020-2023 Ford Escape

What it Does: The Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Kit restores primary ignition integrity on the 2020-2023 Ford Escape 2.5L to eliminate transition misfires, stabilize rough engine idle, and ensure reliable secondary voltage under load.

The Stock Ford Escape Ignition Breakdown

Under the severe thermal cycling typical of the CX482 hybrid powertrain, the factory coil-on-plug boots and internal windings are exposed to extreme operational fatigue. Frequent engine restart cycles characteristic of the Duratec 2.5L Atkinson-cycle platform cause the factory epoxy inside OEM coils (interchange UF-881, LX6Z12029B) to develop micro-fractures over time. This leads to secondary dielectric punch-through, spark scatter, and low-RPM hesitation during gas-to-electric handover. Additionally, eroded factory spark plug gaps place excessive electrical stress back onto the coils, expediting total ignition failure and triggering diagnostic trouble codes such as P0300 through P0304.

The Engineering Solution

This complete tune-up kit restores factory spark energy with four precision-wound pencil ignition coils and matching fine-wire iridium spark plugs. The replacement coils utilize vacuum-poured dielectric resin and high-grade copper wire windings to resist high-voltage tracking and heat soak. Paired with laser-welded iridium electrode plugs that resist thermal erosion, this set maintains a precise spark gap under lean combustion conditions. Premium vulcanized silicone boots isolate high secondary voltages to prevent spark flashover and deliver consistent ignition performance across all ambient operating temperatures.
