"Take the coil/power stage unit apart and clean the internal connections (two or three of them as I recall) and clean all mating surfaces INCLUDING the chassis mount surfaces. This is a known issue with Rex-Regina cars."

Hi Chris,

Your tip to clean the coil terminals is a good one for any no-start, but I don't think you can really call it a Rex "issue". I've had coil connections stop a 240 (Bosch) car too.

And the chassis mounting & grounding made no difference at all when I tested that theory on my 940. It would start and run even with the Coil/Amplifier unit completely removed from its mounting and isolated from any ground, as long as the black ground wire on the fuel rail was connected.

See THIS POST to Chris Herbst for test details.
