Over decades of operation, the OEM coil windings suffer dielectric breakdown, creating internal micro-arcing and secondary voltage drop under load. Coupled with standard copper spark plug erosion that widens the electrode gap beyond factory tolerance, the high-revving \u003cstrong\u003eMazda BP-DE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine experiences hesitations, sluggish throttle response, unburnt hydrocarbon build-up, and rough idle characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis refresh kit pairs a heavy-duty direct-replacement ignition coil with fine-wire iridium spark plugs to stabilize secondary ignition output. The replacement coil uses high-grade copper windings and epoxy encapsulation to prevent voltage leakage and withstand extreme heat soak. The matched iridium plugs feature an ultra-dense, wear-resistant center electrode that requires lower firing voltage while providing a faster flame kernel expansion. This dual upgrade delivers consistent secondary voltage discharge, maximizes cylinder pressure, and eliminates misfires under wide-open throttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1991-1996 Ford Escort\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1.8L DOHC Mazda BP \/ CT20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e127 hp \/ 114 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5C1120, ZM0118100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1991-1996 Ford Escort GT 1.8L L4 DOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1992-1993 Ford Escort LX-E 1.8L L4 DOHC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the CT20 Escort?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1991-1996 Ford Escort equipped with the 1.8L DOHC \u003cstrong\u003eMazda BP-DE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre spark plug wires included with this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this kit supplies one direct-replacement coil and four iridium spark plugs; secondary plug wires must be reused or sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Performance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high-revving 1.8L platform demands strict ignition precision; restoring high-voltage delivery ensures clean top-end power pulls and crisp throttle response without spark blow-out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50623309873400,"sku":"DS-E0BNRXQN3","price":92.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/ignition-coil-iridium-spark-plugs-for-ford-escort-1991-1996-1-8l-1.jpg?v=1790286091","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/ignition-coil-iridium-spark-plugs-for-ford-escort-1991-1996-1-8l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
