    No Crank -_____-

    Two nights ago, the e30 shut off at a stop light. It cranked, but wouldn't start after. Then I got rolled down a hill in which I tried to bump start it, didn't work. Then no more cranking happened. Got it towed home, and did what I could at dark. The next morning without doing anything, she started!! I let her run for a little then shut her off. Then she wouldn't crank again.


    Today here is what I did.

    * Battery was charged all night to maximum capacity. All fine.
    * Checked fuses & replaced main/fuel pump relay to a working one. All fine.
    * Checked all wires for loose ends. All fine.
    * Jump started starter, she was cranking for as long as I was keeping the wires in tact, but of course wouldn't dare to start her (will destroy jumping wires and maybe myself)
    * Checked spark plugs, and spark plug wires. All fine.

    The situation:

    *I hear the solenoid in the engine bay running when clicked to on-start
    *I do not hear fuel pump humming
    *I have gas
    *Timing belts on and teethed
    *Tumbler has full contact

    help :(

    :puppy:

    Replace th CPS, most times it's the root of the cause.

        Today I tested and further trial and error,

        *Jumping pins 30 & 87 of main relay socket
        *Looked for the ground wire from chassis to oil pan if it was loose
        *Checked fuse 11 for power when cranking
        *Checked center console wires
        *Checked for spark, but of course without even a slight crank there would be no spark.

        What I found out:

        *Jumping the hot wire (red) from ignition switch to the starter, the car begins cranking.
        *Jumping the purple wire from ignition switch to the starter, the car begins cranking.

        *Ultimately, it is a break or fault between ignition switch to the starter which are
        (Under steering column relay C200, Diagnostic Connector C101, Main Harness S107)

        Help please :( she isn't even cranking, so that is like.. the worst.
