Hitachi Astemo Ignition Coil P/N:IGC0071

Fire every cylinder with the high-voltage spark it needs from the Hitachi Astemo Ignition Coil IGC0071, a coil-on-plug unit that drops in for the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege, 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5, and 2002 Mazda Tribute, all with the L4-2.0L engine. It steps the vehicle's 12-volt supply up into the high voltage that jumps the spark plug gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture.

Key features:

• Coil-on-plug design: mounts directly over the plug with a single-bolt (One Bolt) mount.
• 3 male blade terminals for the electrical connection.
• 12-volt operation matched to the vehicle's system.
• Welded electronic connection points and protected circuitry help the coil hold up through repeated heat cycles.

Signs that a coil like this may need replacing include engine misfire, rough idle, hard starting, or an illuminated check engine light. Diagnose the cause first; if a failed ignition coil is behind the symptom, this replaces it. The listed Protege and Protege5 applications use four coils per vehicle (one per cylinder) and the Tribute is listed at one; quantity varies by application, so order accordingly. Sold individually. Country of origin: Japan.

Interchange: Manufacturer part number IGC0071.
