Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plugs for Ford Escape (2020-2022) 1.5L

Direct-Fit Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Kit for 2020-2022 Ford Escape

What it Does: The ignition coil and iridium spark plug kit replaces worn factory ignition components on the 2020-2022 Ford Escape to eliminate secondary voltage leaks, suppress cylinder misfires, and restore peak combustion efficiency under boost.

The Stock Ford Escape Ignition Breakdown

The forced-induction 1.5L EcoBoost Dragon inline-three operates under high cylinder pressures and aggressive thermal cycles. In the 4th-generation C2 platform Escape, factory pencil coils are subject to dielectric breakdown, epoxy thermal fatigue, and internal winding resistance drift. Paired with standard plug erosion that widens the gap, weakened coils produce an erratic arc under boost, triggering P0300-P0303 misfire codes, rough idle hesitation, unburnt fuel wash, and catalytic converter degradation.

The Engineering Solution

This service kit features direct-fit coil-on-plug units engineered with high-dielectric epoxy potting, insulated copper primary and secondary windings, and high-temp silicone boots to prevent flashover and carbon tracking. Matched with fine-wire iridium-tipped spark plugs featuring trivalent metal plating, the assembly ensures low quenching, stable arc discharge against high cylinder backpressures, and direct interchange with factory part number UF-880.
