stels Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ok - so ive found the culprit to my juddering and stalling problem..... see post Aug 2013! Its NOT the coil pack as prev thought (replaced twice in 6 months) but the coil pack connector.. as soon as we touch this little contraption my car takes a dickie fit. I am making HUGE sighs of relief noises as it really had me and the garage stumped for the past year!! So.... now off I go on my travels to try and find a replacement!! No such luck.... Every breakers ive tried has had theirs snipped off even before lifting the bonnet! Any ideas anyone? The garage has suggested replacing the full coil pack with an earlier version as this has a different connection and is widely available.... but would this work. Im really gutted to be still having this issue a year on - still with only 34k on the clock. Help please?? Please see pic.. Kindest regards, Stels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.B1971 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You must be able to slide the pins out of the plug and manipulate the pins into a better shape for connection, failing that I would go to a maplins store and buy insulated crimp connectors and with a bit of tweaking you will be able to get them to fit good and tight, this is what I would do. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Presumably just a loose connection, have you tried fiddling with the contacts with a tiny screwdriver to make them tighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 +1 tweak the contacts, check the wires for breaks and use somer contact cleaner spray, see how you go. The plug by itself is not available and a whole new loom is about £500. There must be a breakers yard somewhere that has a complete engine you can get some pliers to? Give these guys a shout and see if they'll part off the plug for you with some wire length attached.- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-ford-focus-Breaking-for-Spares-more-colours-in-stock-and-models-/261557341232?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord|Model%3AFocus|Cars+Year%3A2005|Cars+Type%3A1.6&hash=item3ce6084c30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
