    Oh because I am a machinist I make tools. I am not or even close to a mechanic.

    Thanks though!

        Yes, if you've hooked things up correctly, the fuel should come out of the supply line.

        I am fairly certain that you have an E34 harness there. The wire color can be determined by using a razor and scoring the heat shrink tubing next to each ring terminal. Brown = ground, red = power (12V).

          Ok then I have 1 red 1 blk witch are hooked up corectly. Then there is 5brown and 1 brn/blk that all go to the same connector these I have grounded as well. When I tried to find out what was fuel in and fuel return by turning to ON position nothing happened but I will see tomorrow if cranking it over works.

              Did you hear the fuel pump buzz when you turned the car to the on position?

                        Fine I think? I will check for buzzing tomorrow. Will the m42 relays be the same?

                          No fuel

                          Ok still no fuel checked all power and grounds.

                          There is no power @ fuse #11.

                          There is no power @ my adapter green/purple wire.

                          There is no power @ fuel pump itself.

                          I have tried turning the engine over.


                          What else can I check?

                            Ok now there is power at the relay but not going through it. I guess? I can use a small piece of wire to jump it and the fuel pump comes on. Is the relay shit?

                              Sounds like your DME isnt grounded.

                              As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                              You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                                I think it is. Can some one tell me the fuel relay part#. I phoned bmw and the guy I spoke to said he thinks it is a pink one??? But is not sure.
