Fire but no fuel pump or injector pulse

This is incorrect as well. EWS is pretty easy to wire in as long as you have the key and EWS box from the donor car.

i stand corrected.

as far as the ECU goes, it was my understanding after much much reading on the subject, that all silver label 413 ECU are EWS enabled... i also have a silver label 413 out of a 95 m3, and it was a no go without the chip...

I did a good bit of research as well, But i was hoping there was something i missed. Ill check the production date tomm

Mike B. is right on all accounts. However, it's usually not worth it to wire in EWS when you're doing a US motor conversion.

The link you posted, regarding bypassing the starter relay applies to an automatic e30 chassis, not an automatic M50 wiring harness. If the e30 was an auto when you started, then yes, bypass it.

If you have questions, I'm on AIM for the next half hour or so.

And for the record, you only need to cut the little green wire if you're working with an e36 chassis with EWS... in an e30 that wire doesn't run anywhere.

Alright thanks. The ultimate conclusion is that if i wasnt sure of the production date, i should have gotten a Red label or Delete chip Sourced/on the way. Because im almost positive its wired correctly

The VIN is on the DME right? Run the last 7 through RealOEM.com and see what the production date is.

If i had it with me i would do it in a heart beat.. Thats whats holding me up and making me still ask questions

How did you determine you weren't getting any fuel?

This may be a long shot, but I have reversed fuel lines in the past. When this occurs it appears that there is no fuel because the ECU shuts down the fuel pump when the car doesn't fire. The pump will run when you jump the fuel pump relay, but everything is running in reverse. Take a look, it could be a quick fix.

Just scored a Red label 413 for 100 bucks. We have a local German Autowerks. And the owner is a good friend.
So hopefully that will solve things

Wow, red label 413 DME for a hundred bucks? Thats a deal!
