Performance Distributors SOS Ignition Coils For 4.0L 2000-2006 Jeeps

Modern Jeep engines are lightyears ahead of what was being used just a few short decades back. However, many people still rely upon the readily available, and easily modified Jeep 4.0-liter motor. This old straight six-shooter of a motor is about as commonplace and affordable as it gets. And now thanks to the creative minds over at Performance Distributors, it can also be far more efficient and reliable with their upgraded Jeep Ignition Coils.

More spark on the Jeep’s 4.0-liter cassette coil means more power, better combustion, and greater reliability.

Sending Out an SOS

Talking about 4.0-liter engines found in Jeep 4×4 vehicles from the early 2000s means addressing the electrically charged elephant in the room. Jeep’s old cassette-style coil-on-plug ignitions might have been all right way back when. But these decade-old components might have lived passed their lifespan. This should be a concern and cause for a refresh, especially when it comes to reliability and performance prowess.
To substantially boost spark, and alleviate known electronic issues, a new kind of cassette had to be engineered. And no, we’re not talking about rewinding that Tony Braxton tape that’s been languishing on your playlist rotation. These particular Jeep Ignition Coils are configured in the form of a drop-in cassette-type application.
Performance Distributors’ Jeep 4.0L ignition coils are engineered to transform that sluggish spark via their proven “Sultans Of Spark” products. Referred to as the “SOS” line, these clever coils are constructed to “…increase spark output for improved combustion that leads to quicker starting, smoother idle, better fuel mileage, and more power!
Jeep 4.0L Motor

A 4.0-liter inline-six motor found in Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler SUVs from the early 2000s can be easily upgraded. All thanks to advancements from companies like Performance Distributors.

Jeep Ignition Coils With Performance Perks

As for performance improvements, that all stems from the increased coil windings inside. Built to boost voltage output by 15 percent, these units provide a much hotter, substantial spark to the plug.
However, to capitalize upon this bump in electrical intensity, and prevent the risk of misfire, spark plugs must be gapped to .040-inches. According to Performance Distributors, this wider plug gap exposes more of the spark kernel to the fuel/air mixture. The result is a cleaner, far more complete combustion process. Not to mention a significant increase in overall engine performance.
These SOS coils are specifically designed as a direct replacement for the OEM unit, so bring on the easy installation. Zero modifications are required to get this kit to fit, with a black epoxy filling finishing things off. This allows each SOS Coil to be covered by Performance Distributors’ one-year warranty. Coverage that is activated immediately on the date of purchase.

For as capable, as they may be off-road, even the venerable Jeep TJ Wrangler has its weaknesses. This is precisely why Performance Distributors designed its SOS Coils for the vehicle’s 4.0L motor.

Regarding which Jeep 4.0-liter inline 6 motors benefit from this potent aftermarket addition, thus far they include:
  • 2000-2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L
  • 2000-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L
  • 2000-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4.0L

Performance Distributors’ 4.0L Jeep SOS Coils join a line of advanced and innovative high-performance ignition systems. If you plan to upgrade, don’t for get to include Firepower Ignition Kits, and Screamin’ Demon Coils.

The Memphis-based brand also manufactures alternators, modules, LiveWires, and a bunch of other high-performance race-level components. Like all of its products, these new Jeep SOS coils are guaranteed to perform and feature high-quality design and supreme functionality.
