my friend bought an e30 and decided to gut the whole thing and he just cut out the viper alarm system and doesnt remember how anything went. I bought it with him telling me it just needed a fuel pump and i trusted him bc i wasnt home to check it out. i need help putting wires together post pictures and everything i got wires hanging out that need to be connected. and there are 2 plugs on the right side that are missing which seems like a big problem. help me out !!!!!

it cranks but doesnt start you dont need to use the clutch either so safety feature is messed up the headlights dont work but the dash lights do either do the power windows. -
E30 electrical manual: This one is e18is specific, but there are others for the variations. Its a start...

i never messed with electronics so this doesnt help me to much i see how all the power and what not is supposed to go but its split wires that i dont know where they go and there no match colors that are split by each other. i asked one guy from ct to come down and take a look but he wasnt reliable he said it might have to do with a fuse-able power line? i forget but might've been what he said.Originally posted by lbreevesii View PostComment

It gives all the wiring colors. It will take some time to decipher but it will help, trust me.I don't always wreck cars, but when I do I wreck them into trees.

E30s don't have a clutch safety switch. You can start every E30 without pressing the clutch. If he yanked an alarm the alarm may have had some sort of fuel cut off.

the brown and green wire is the same wire that runs into the fuel pump im getting power to the pump but its not whinning when i turn the key or try and start it... the pump is fine and i tried switching the relays still didnt work im going tomorrow buy all new relay and fuses. theres also a big black and medium white wire under the dash above the clutch pedal cut but idk where they go either lol this things a mess. i figured out a bunch of other wires though with that diagram.Comment

OP, going through the wiring with a fine toothed comb is really your best option right now.

i got on in the car as we speak this thing is like a birds nest kid fucked everything up right now half the fuses dont work i got them to work 2 days ago but now they arent again :( the fuel pump isnt getting power but i bought it from a guy on here who said the pump is working and im not sure how to test the pump. it cranks but doesnt turn over bought a new CPS bc i heard they tend to go bad from sitting for a while.... car sat for about 4 months really dont know what else to do i think my broke ass is gunna bring it to a mechanic and get my wallet raped.Comment
