    I need a picture...

    Can one of you guys snap a picture of the pass. side rear corner of the engine bay, specifically the power and ground connections for the engine harness. I've got my motor in but no switched power to the DME. Crank, no start.

    Thanks.

        Not sure yet, just spent ALL DAY checking everything and I've pretty much narrowed it down to the DME. I think I either got a wrong/bad chip from Eurosport or a bad DME.

          I have seen a few times people saying its just the DME but it usually isnt in my experience. Twice now its been the crank position sensor wire, once for an m20 and once for a s50.

            hope you can figure it out, turns out i just forgot to ground the DME... I feel like a dumbass, but it was nice to hear the s52 fire up tonight.

            do you have another DME you can get your hands on so you can use to test the chip?

              Yeah, unfortunately its not the crank reference. All of the inputs are there, just no outputs from the DME. I need to get ahold of a known good DME to try out.

                        All set, but thanks guys. Got a DME from a co-worker, going to try it tonight. Pretty sure I got a bad chip from Eurosport.
