Problems starting up engine first time.
I'm a little lost. I've attempted to search to find some concrete answers related to my situation but I think I'm missing the big picture here.
Car:
-1987 325i automatic
-1995 m3 engine/trans/harness
-gregslow318i adapter harness
my problem; car will not turn over (no action from the starter)
I have power at the starter
-2 big wires at big post
-1 black/yellow wire at lower post
-1 black wire at high pos
Now here is where I think im missing the big picture. When i removed the e30 engine harness in place of the e36 m3/adapter harness, I removed the fuse block for what appears to be unloader/fuel pump/questionable relay?.
I'm thinking my problem lies in the missing relays, not sure how they wire in either when I removed the e30 engine harness all together.
Or is there a problem where I need some type of switch to allow the ignition to occur (clutch switch, possibly ews issue?)
I'm lost and not sure where to look yet. I need to check and see if the DME has EWS or not.
I guess the ultimate question is, do i need the relays wired in? also does this effect the starting issue? also do i need to worry about EWS or a clutch/brake switch during startup?
any advice would be greatly appreciated. for your reading efforts i award you a nice gif or two ;)
