    No CEL what so ever.

    Another thread from me. :P When i turn the key, the CEL does not illuminate, seems as if the ECU isn't working at all, tried replacing the main relay and the ECU, still no CEL.

    Helpppp.

      I was thinking of that, but i don't hear any signs that it's working, i don't recall on my other e30, but every car i've had, the CEL will illuminate, then a relay will click over and it'll turn off. It's not doing this.

      It'd also make sense considering i have no fuel or spark that my ECU isn't working. :P

        Your '86 doesn't have a check engine light.

          lol, i was also wondering about that, i shined a light in the place were it'd be and i didn't see anything that said "Check Engine" It looked like an exclamation point with a circle around it.

          Hmm, guess i'll take a voltmeter to it and see if it's getting power.
