Really stumped on this. I have a 1988 325
it has a built s50 motor, it has ran perfectly a while ago.
I was trying to figure out why my other e30 wasn’t starting Soo I had removed the ECU, and the MAF. To use to test on my other car
I then brought the ecu back and the car would turn on.
I tried starting it and it was misfiring from an unplugged IAC, the car then I took home and the next day I couldn’t get the car to start
it would try to start but would just fire here n there but wouldn’t stay running.
before it wouldn’t run at slll I would hold the throttle down and the car would try to run. But wouldn’t .
I am stumped because I basically have no clue why the car won’t turn on at all.
It cranks
it is getting fuel and is getting spark.
I’m not sure if the ecm has some sort of bad circuit
in fairly positive it’s getting fuel to the combustion chamber because the plugs get soaked with fuel when u crank it.
Soo I’ve tested the relays
checked the grounds
front of the engine / ground strap at block
im going to retest the ecm on my other car to rule that out.
whether I cooked the ecu.
Or not.
im thinking maybe I have a bad tps or iac but I would imagine it would run even if it didn’t have it plugged in
I’m not sure if they’re any other fuses I should check
a buddy was saying it could be the OBC
THE Car is a non 13 button OBC it has the clock. Style.
As of right now
there is spark
and I believe fuel going through the injectors
feelinf like I’m getting more fuel than I need maybe
brcsuse when I take the plugs out they’re wet
when I cranked it this morning after letting it sit over night it fired one little combustion maybe on one cylinder
I’ve tried different coils
Snd I’ve tested the resistance in the cps and it has 830 oms
not sure if that is to much.
it has a 450lph fuel pump
whatbwould make the car have fuel and spark but not start
anything I should check
Can a ecu make that happen if it has something fried in it
need some direction
I’ve checked resistance from engine to chassis and 0 is across the board
lmk if anyone has any advice
If I need to check my wiring again lmk I’m stuck
