    Question E36 no start

    Hey guys, so im new to the page and was hoping to get some insight.

    Ive been working on this RHD E36 1992 or 1991 (not to sure what cant read Japanese) and i swapped out a few thing on the motor to make it run better. In doing so the car is now not wanting to fire. it has fuel, new sparks (and sparking).
    I have already looked into many tricks such as dme reset, #7 plug for the dme (doesnt have one) and even tried a few bypass tricks. I am so lost. If someone could give me ideas. otherwise im gonna have to get it towed to the dealer which isnt cheap.

    What is the VIN?
    Was it running before you swapped out "a few things"?
    What are these "few things" you swapped?

    which clutch? Visco fan clutch?
    The VIN is on a Japan spec BMW below the front window http://de.bmwfans.info/vin/

    when you changed the clutch, I assume the visco fan clutch, did you disponnect any plugs? For example the pulse generator? #9 http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E3...e/timing_case/

    i guess i forgot to say the transmission clutch. when i got it it was running poor and the clutch was gone so i put a bigger one in.

    Automatic transmission clutch or manual transmission clutch? Difficult to help you without more details. That does not help much
