Just bought another 91 325is. The owner said he put the battery in wrong and after he corrected it it wouldn't start. After swapping a bunch of parts including the crank sensor it still won't start. Its getting spark but no fuel. Fuelpump is good just won't turn on. Would really appreciate any help.

I just put a new fuel tank in and changed all the lines. The car wouldn't get fuel so I jumped the fuel pump fuse (it was fuse 11) and primed the system for a few seconds. After that it started right up.
When turning the key to the on position the fuel pump won't turn on, but when you turn it over the fuel pump should kick on.
Fuel pump relay is the middle of the three in the engine bay.
A fuel line could be switched
I'm still new to these cars so these are the things I encountered this past weekend when installing the tank. Sorry if I only state the obvious and I'm not much help. Best of luck! Fuel issues suck!

Fuse in trunk is good, new cps, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. All relays are new. I have spark. Fuse 11is good but no power to it but the pump relay has power. I jumped power to fuse 11 and the pump came on but still woyldnt start. I need some help before I set this bitch on fire in the street.sigpicthis how WE roll

Ok, so you'll need someone else to help you try this... Have them jump the fuel pump to the battery terminal at the front of the car through fuse 11. Let it run for a couple seconds and start the car, have them remove the jumper wire and see if the car will stay running. If the car actual starts and runs then you know your fuel lines are okay and it is most likely an electrical issue and not mechanical.
If you can't figure anything out with that try this check, it will lead you through all the possibilities! http://www.bavauto.com/newsletter/20...newsletter.pdf

IME hooking the battery up backwards will usualy blow the diode in the alternator. Since I believe there are a bunch of engine management functions that require the exciter wire from the alternator to be live, this could also be your problem.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.
