Standard Motor Products, Inc. announced the continued expansion of its Ignition Coil program. Standard and Blue Streak offer more than 700 Coils, with new numbers added each month. Blue Streak by Standard Ignition Coils are available in multi-packs for a complete coil service, the company said.
In a news release announcing the program expansion,
link hidden, please login to viewexplained that it evaluates the original part, identifies the OE issues, and corrects those problems to deliver improved reliability. For instance, ignition coils on the Ford 4.6L engine generate too much heat, leading to premature failure. To solve this issue, Blue Streak by Standard FD503 Ignition Coils were redesigned with two additional bobbin segments to better distribute the energy, resulting in less heat and a longer service life. Many popular OE coils use a two-piece design requiring an O-ring that breaks down over time, allowing moisture to enter the coil and cause failure. Standard said it created a sealed, one-piece design that doesn’t require an O-ring, eliminating the risk of moisture intrusion. Recently released Standard Coils introduce coverage for the 2023-21 Ford F-150, 2023-20 Subaru Legacy and Outback, and 2022-19 Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs. Additional new coverage includes popular vehicles like the 2024-22 Volkswagen Jetta and Taos, 2024-23 Ford Super Duty trucks, and the 2020-15 Alfa Romeo 4C. Currently, 15 Blue Streak Ignition Coil Multipacks are available for popular vehicles, with additional applications in development.
“Our Ignition Coil program is the most comprehensive in the industry,” said John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at SMP. “We’re dedicated to continuously expanding our coverage with coils of the highest quality and best performance to meet the demands of professional technicians.”
All new Standard and Blue Streak Ignition components are listed in the catalog found at
