<h2>Direct-Fit High-Dielectric Ignition Coil & Iridium Spark Plug Kit for 2001-2008 Ford Escape</h2> <p><strong>What it Does:</strong> Delivers a complete, balanced secondary ignition overhaul by replacing worn coil-on-plug units and eroded plugs with high-temp copper-wound assemblies and fine-wire iridium conductors to eliminate misfires and restore combustion efficiency.</p> <h3>The Stock Escape Thermal Breakdown & Coil Failure</h3> <p>The transverse engine packaging in the Ford CD2 platform subjects the rear cylinder bank (cylinders 1-3) along the firewall to extreme thermal soak. Over time, OEM coil insulation degrades, allowing dielectric breakdown through cracked epoxy and hardened silicone boots. This secondary voltage leakage not only induces spark blowout, rough idle, and P0301–P0306 misfire codes, but also creates high primary circuit resistance that can damage the internal ignition drivers inside the factory PCM.</p> <h3>The Engineering Solution</h3> <p>This direct-replacement ignition pack upgrades system reliability using high-grade magnetic copper primary and secondary windings encapsulated in heat-resistant, high-dielectric epoxy. Precision direct-fit blade connectors ensure low contact resistance, while reinforced silicone boots resist thermal hardening. Paired with fine-wire iridium-tipped spark plugs that require lower firing voltage and resist spark erosion, this kit ensures consistent arc stability, immediate cold starts, and reliable high-RPM combustion under load.</p> <h3>Technical Specifications</h3> <table width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;"> <tr style="background-color: #f9f9f9;"> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Fitment</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">2001-2008 Ford Escape</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Engine / Chassis</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">3.0L Duratec 30 V6 / CD2 Platform</td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #f9f9f9;"> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Stock Output</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">200 hp / 196 lb-ft (Approx)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Part Number</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">DG500, DG513, FD495, FD502, UF406, E261, C1387, C1458, 5C1617, 5C1449</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Compatibility</h3> <ul> <li>2001-2008 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 (XLS, XLT, Limited)</li> </ul> <h3>The Ford SUV Reliability Standard</h3> <p>Engineered to handle the demands of daily commuting and light utility hauling, this ignition kit delivers heavy-duty thermal resistance and consistent spark energy to protect your CD2 drivetrain across thousands of miles.</p>
