E30 s50 swap won't start please help

[bmwdready347]

Hey guys I recently put a 1995 m3 motor in my 1992 e30 convertable every thing is done just. Can't get it to run .. I'm using a tree house racing adapter so wiring shouldn't be an issue tested in a friends car and it worked .. I started car with quick start and I had to jump a power wire to starter to start car .. Once I guess whatever quick start was finished it would shut of ..can some please help thanks

You are not getting power from the ignition switch to the starter "RUN" post. Check and see why, is it because of the bad wiring, bad clutch switch?

Also looks like injectors are not delivering fuel, but ignition coils are able to run the engine while the starter fluid is present. Check fuel pressure delivery. Lift the injectors out of the intake manifold, check and see if they are all working.

Go through your C101. Just because it worked in a friends car doesn't mean it will work in yours.

If you paid treehouse for an m50 adaptor call and get them to sort it out.

If you bought it used it's sounds like it's not correct for your car, so you'll need research the ETMs for both your chassis and the donor motor to re-pin it for your car.
