hi guy's need some help, now i'm sure my prob with MAX is the coil pack now on the no S102020003B is that the complete coil pack or just the base? as i'm getting different prices but no one has any on the shelf, now they say there are 2 different parts one £35 the other £115 but they dont kno what the diff is!! has any one ordered one & kno which part is which??? this is Helfrauds for ya?????????

I have just walked into halfords before and bought just the coil - thats probably the £35 part, the part it mounts to, thats probably the expensive bit.

cheers mate, i'll be down there tom & grab one, just hope that's the prob, did the nail test earlier between the lead & plug with no sign of life so it must be the prob????

Keep me poste mate :banana:

ok guy's i've now had enough, got the coil all fitted, plenty of fuel in the carb, new plugs, leads dizzy cab, checked the breathers to the carb all clear! & she still wont start?????????? come on ony idea's on what else it could be, even better anyone round manchester/stockport free to give me a tow home as it's costing a fortune on busses each time to try a new idea!!!!

stupid question how do you take the rotory arm off coz i tryed to get it off & it wont budge??? are they bolted on some how?? i'm trying to figure out any possibilities why she wont start!!! also any breathers i should be aware of to check??
finally do these have a cut off sw controlled by any sensors? i can't belive such a simple car has got the better of me!

thr rotor arms are just a push fit but they can get stuck on there pretty tight.

cheers i'll try n prise it off when i get back up to it, the contact may be corroded inside, going off the state of the rest of the leads ect!!

ok another stupid question, does anyone kno if there is a fues or relay that controls power to the coil pack & where they might be??? it's just strange how a car can just stop then now start again, she turns over fine just will not fire!!

My 2 ltr 440 does something similar, i can go out and start it and it starts first turn just runs lumpy low down in the rev range but if i turn it off it won't start again it backfires through the exhaust and turns over but just refuses to start. Then if i leave it a while it'll start again and it just repeats the same thing - turns but won't fire.

check inside the connector to the ECU for corrosion, mine played up and water had got in and corroded the connections (there was also a puddle in the connector and another in the ECU, I dried it out and replaced the connector(£40 in parts and 2 hours solderng) and put the ecu in an upside down ziplock bag, which kept further water out.

cheers mate i'll check that out. Weird thing is i started it earlier and it ran great, But i turned it off and it started its usual crap rally beginning to lose the plot with it!!!!!!! (anyone want to buy a 77000 mile 440 glt 2 ltr???? :right:

not just yet, still a few miles in my 92 440 with a mere 164,000 on the clock. they are a pain when they are not running right, but once you get them going they run and run. just a thought, its not a dry solder joint on a relay somewhere, that can plague 940's and similar due to age the solder joints in the relays dry out and intermittently fail, the cure is to melt each solder joint again, but I have never heard of it with a 440, but hey theres always a first time.

i'll check mine out as soon as i can get back up to it, the mrs is 9 month gone , actully due this sunday so i gotta hang around just incase as it's 3 busses & hr & half to get where it died!!!!
once baby arrives i'll get back up there n fix it, the only reason i bought it was whilst the baby was due & getting 2 n from the hospital ;-(
