    Need Help, No Spark

    I just finished my S50 into my E30 M3 swap today, no spark. I have fuel up in the rail,so relays for fuel pump working, pretty sure wiring is correct, silver label 95m3 413 dme with brand new Turner chip W/EWS delete, and it just cranks. Bad DME? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks....

    have you checked to make sure you have power to the coils?

      Are you sure the injectors are firing? After cranking it for awhile, I'd check to see if there is any fuel on a spark plug. I think it would be rare to find the DME sending fuel but no spark. Are you sure the DME is on? Check the main relay. +12 with or without ignition to the solid red wires. 0V at the solid BRN wire with the ignition on. +12V on the red/white wires with the ignition on.

      Also check for the CEL light, if you have it wired yet. It should be on with the motor off and the ignition on. No CEL light means to power to the DME. I think the DME switches ground to the CEL light wire to turn it on.

        Are the fuel lines reversed? I had the same symptoms as you are describing and it was reversed fuel lines.
