Need help m50 NV 92, crank no start

[Matt-B]

i do that so people see it, Im at a loss man, not sure what else to do, and its hard when there is no chart to confirm what the resistance on certain sensors should be.

[Jand3rson]

I understand that, but you need to give people more than an hour to check things out. It's 11:30 on this coast, but later everywhere else.

Its dumping in to much fuel still?
After your plugs fuel fouled did you change them?

A fouled plug will give you a weak spark and a misfire. Drying them out doesn't work there don't always bounce back.

Have you tried disabling the fuel pump and priming the manifold with fuel to see if you can even get it to fire without the pump running?

Id rule out the cps because IIRC it will disable fuel and spark if its not working

[Adrian_Visser]

You didn't by some chance replace the harmonic balancer did you? NV and Vanos trigger wheels are different and will cause a no start. Just fishing.

[Matt-B]

I did not no, possible problem with adaptor, looking into now, on the phone emailing, and on skype as we speak

I remember why I hated the E34 ETM tonight. x-x

Hard wire it if you can.

[Jand3rson]

Hard wire it if you can.

This. I'm so glad I didn't stick with that hodge-podge adapter, hardwiring it in is so much better.

[Matt-B]

My adaptor had like the coolant temp wired into DME power, not sure what that would have made car to, jumping car soon AGAIN, and trying to locate legit pin out charts

[Farbin Kaiber]

I also stand behind the hardwire option, but in a different manner, tie into the e30 m20 harness behind the connector. Then you still have an engine removal harness quick disconnect.

[Matt-B]

If my DME is not getting power from my C101, will i still get fuel and spark?

[416stroker]

Have you tried disabling the fuel pump and priming the manifold with fuel to see if you can even get it to fire without the pump running?

[Matt-B]

like starter fluid, and pulling fuel pump relay and fuse? yes I have

[416stroker]

no real fuel . put like a half a paint cap in the throttle body. If it evan wants to run is shold run for 3-4 seconds. dont use starting fluid thats stuff all bad.
