    Exclamation 94 325i cranks but no start

    Making a second post here to hopefully resolve my issue. car has been down for 2 months now. If i cant figure it out by tomorrow i will be towing the car to eurofed.


    1994 325i production 1/94.

    Car will turn over but not start. my issue is i have no power to fuel relay. No power to pin 30 on fuel relay or pin 86 on the relay. on the dme relay I'm only getting power to pin 86. I have already replaced fuel relay, dme relay, crank position sensor, fuel pump, checked fusible link, and swapped 3 diff ecus with 2 diff chips (stock and turner). I have also cut green wire, pin 7, on X20. Anything else I can do so that I can resolve my issue? TIA

    Have you checked all the fuses?

    Maybe the pump is dead, try jumping the relay socket to turn it on (don't fuck it up).

    Also CAM sensor should be tested.

    My '94 325 would crank and crank. I used my battery charger and the jumper cables from my running F150, no joy. The AAA came out to start it with the power pack thing that they have, it fired right up.

    If your battery is weak, the starter can pull the battery voltage low enough that the computer/spark does not work, but the car cranks over like it ought to start right up.

    The irony here is that it's "you're half retarded," not your.
