:hitler: Sorry, had to use it.
So before i start, I have installed a Motronic 1.3 M20B25 into an e21 323i and I have one last problem I need solved before I can call the swap successful. I am having a hell of a time figuring out why a fully charged battery it losing all of its charge when left overnight.
I have a Brand new Deka that I relocated into the trunk and have a wire running to a post on the engine bay that powers all four of the wires found on the 325is harness.
When I hook up a charger to supplement a fully charged battery which is the only way the engine will fire, the injectors will come on intermittently until finally the engine catches and starts. When the engine idles, it is smooth for about thirty seconds and then developes a stumble at idle which is uncharacteristic of an M20.
I know there is a short somewhere, I need to know how to go about finding it and where to start. My friend recommended pulling each fuse and seeing which one cause the draw to stop with an ammeter on the battery. I checked draw on the battery with ignition and everything off and the draw was 0.063.
If anyone has another method or could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated, thanks.
