2006 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 Ignition Coil Replacement (lemmy.world)

Hello mechanics!

I've got some coils and spark plugs that need replacing (Along with likely needing to send my ECM in for a repair). I've verified that they're the likely culprit of many of my issues with my local mechanic, but wanted to verify with more internet experts on what to buy.

From what I understand, Motorcraft is the recommended OEM, and I've no problem spending the money if that is the right direction, but I wanted to see if any of these "Premium" alternatives on RockAuto would be a good or better choice, such as the Hitachi with "Magnetic Shield for EMI Protection" (A common cause for ECM damage in this make/model apparently).

Thanks in advance!

Hitachi and Delphi are good choices as well. Hitachi does a lot of the OEM stuff for Nissan as I recall, and Delphi does some OEM for GM.

Nothing wrong with Standard Motor, but I'd pick those two or the Motorcraft over Standard Motor.

Ya and iirc standard motor is O'Reilly's house brand (used to work for them). Denso and NGK also make good stuff but are usually chosen for asian brands, Bosch for euro mostly

Honestly imo OP go with w/e has the best warranty for cheapest
