WHO IS THE HEATWAVE?

A new villain ignites beneath the hood. Meet The Heatwave. Armed with relentless temperature spikes, The Heatwave attacks where your engine is most vulnerable — your ignition coils.

SHATTER THE SHIELD

HE HAS A LETHAL PLAN:

Our villain’s ultimate plan is to shatter the ignition coil’s shield. His goal is simple: compromise the structure and waste the power. Once one coil suffers this fate, the others are close behind.

It begins with overheating, but the true damage is revealed within. The Heatwave aims to destroy the coil’s ability to protect itself, causing two types of system-wide failure: delamination and ground shorts.

GROUND SHORTS

The high-voltage current is forced out of the intended path, flowing uselessly to the engine’s ground via a broken wire or failed diode.

DELAMINATION

The heat shatters the protective internal insulation. When the coil’s shield cracks and delaminates, electricity jumps where it shouldn’t, causing an internal short.

The NGK Difference

All NGK ignition coils must pass extensive testing procedures and quality checks through-out the manufacturing process to ensure fit and performance.

• Validation lab certified to ISO17025 to maintain calibration standards
• Electromagnetic interference testing to confirm that the coil does not interfere with other vehicle parts
• Mechanical vibration testing
• Accelerated life testing at higher voltages and frequencies to identify and correct failure points
