<h2>Direct-Fit Ignition Coil and Iridium Spark Plug Kit for 2009-2012 Ford Escape</h2> <p><strong>Primary Function:</strong> Restores factory secondary ignition performance by replacing worn coil packs and fouled spark plugs to eliminate misfires, rough idling, and hesitation under load.</p> <h3>The Stock Escape Thermal Breakdown Issue</h3> <p>The 3.0L Duratec V6 underhood environment subjects rear bank ignition coils (cylinders 1, 2, and 3) to sustained high thermal soak due to their proximity to the firewall and exhaust manifold. Over time, OEM epoxy encapsulants degrade, causing micro-arcing, internal shorting in the secondary copper windings, and excessive secondary resistance. Paired with degraded factory spark plug electrodes exhibiting wide gaps, this puts excess strain on the PCM driver circuits and triggers DTC codes P0300 through P0306.</p> <h3>The Engineering Solution</h3> <p>This comprehensive tune-up kit features six heavy-duty ignition coil-on-plug (COP) assemblies engineered with premium high-conductivity copper windings and high-dielectric epoxy insulation to resist thermal degradation and voltage leak. The matched set of six fine-wire iridium spark plugs delivers low-voltage firing requirements, superior quenching resistance, and stable flame kernel propagation under heavy throttle or high-load conditions.</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;">2009-2012 Ford Escape (3.0L V6)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Engine / Chassis</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">Duratec 30 / CD2 Platform</td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #f9f9f9;"> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Stock Output</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">240 hp / 223 lb-ft (Approx)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding:8px;"><strong>Part Number</strong></td> <td style="padding:8px;">UF486, DG514, DG-514, C1594</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Compatibility</h3> <ul> <li>2009 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 (XLS, XLT, Limited)</li> <li>2010 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 (XLS, XLT, Limited)</li> <li>2011 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 (XLS, XLT, Limited)</li> <li>2012 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 towing, this ignition kit ensures reliable cold-start ignition, clean emissions, and sustained fuel efficiency across the entire RPM band.</p>
