    Not getting fuel

    I have yet to look hard into my current problem, thought I'd ask here before I work on my car later tonight.

    I am doing an E30 S52 swap with OBDI conversion, I tried starting it for the first time last night . It turned over, but it was getting zip-zero-zilch fuel :curse:. I took off the fuel lines to check and there was nothing. Any ideas? Sorry if I am being vague.

    Are you getting 12v to the fuel pump / fuel pump relay? Have you tried to jumper the fuel pump relay to see if the fuel pump runs?

        EWS? Although I think the EWS just prevents the fuel injectors from firing. It could be pump related too, my guess is that the relay is not hooked up to power properly. I had mine wired wrong too on my 318is for a while. I rigged up a toggle switch on the dash for the fuel pump on/off -- it was pretty cool for a while, but then I fixed the wire :)

        good luck
