Coil On Plug (COP)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The COP ignition operates similar to a standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per plug. COP has 3 different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP failure mode effects management (FMEM).
