I NEED HELP. S50 Content

[e30shmobberr]

So my pos daily truck broke down last night, and now i have no car. I want to get my s50e30 up in running so i can have a car for my 20 mile commute to school and so i can drive it on my birthday next week. Only problem is if started it would drive, which it doesnt.

For the life of me I can't seem to get this thing to start! The engine doesnt get fuel when the key is in start, but it gets fuel when I add power to the fuel pump. Along with that there is no spark (jumped the fuel pump to run when key is in start, and no engine fire). I have replaced the crankshaft postion sensor, have used 2 dme's (413 red), replaced the relays, and checked fuses.

Could my camshaft position sensor or knock sensors be the issue? Trying to get this thing running by sunday, it been way too long since i have started this project.

Any help is appreciated!

have you triple checked all your grounds and power wires from the harness? sounds like your whole harness isnt getting any power. most of the time people mistake a power wire for a ground wire because it is black coming out of the harness. (battery side)

do your relays click when the key is turned on?

ECU grounded? That was my problem for the no fuel part..

C101 wiring?

[e30shmobberr]

Tried my hardest, couldnt get it to start. Fml time for a shop and a lot of money to be thrown away

[mentaleeill]

any chance the crank pos. and cam pos. sensor plugs were switched?

This. Mine was doing that same thing as yours, I had grounded both of my wires, when one is powered and the other is ground.

[e30shmobberr]

I have every casing off the harness so wire colors show. There is no ground wire being powered or visa versa

What about Erik ? (from your sig) Is he not available to look it over with you?
He's got enough sense to figure it out.

[cmybimmer]

What have you checked over? Did you triple and quadruple check your harness adapter (if you made one) for correct connections and whatnot? from what motor/car did your engine harness come from? Its always the small shit that delays you after the major parts are done..

Ews delete chip? All your c101 connections as they should be? Grounds?

My issues were incredibly similar and were resolved via a new Ews delete chip from turner motorsports.
