does any one know of a link that has the wiring diagram for the M42B18 with the colours and plugs?

Cheers

Right basically im going to buy a mega squirt ms2 v3 ecu, i want to make a custom wiring loom for the engine, im going to be running a standard m44b19 to begin with, it will however be fitted with s50b30 throttle boddies and a plenum (custom made ready to go!!) i want to run a maf instead of an afm ...

right, i have got the car turning over on the key now..... starter motor died!!! i now have the poblem of no fuel pump and no spark!! i connected the fuel pump straight to a battery which works and tried to start the car but it wouldnt start, pulled a plug off and there is no spark, i did the "bridg...

Sorry it's the first tech I have posted. The car is a 318is 1990 model face lift The problem is that when I tried to start the car after pulling up in a petrol station forecourt nothing happened. The dash lights illuminated as they should, I pushed the button on the sigma alarm fob and the pump prim...

as far as i know the thng has been a manual all its life, dont think they make the is with an auto box??

Manual!!!

tried the start from the diagnostic plug and all that happens is a relay clicks in the fuse box, bridged the fuel pump relay and nothing!! put power directly to the pump and the pump works?? any ideas?

all the fuses are good!! first thing i did.

i will try the disgnostic checks tonight and post the results tomorrow!!!!

could some one take a few pictures of the loom in the passenger foot well and post them please, there is a 2 pin plug with 2 green wires i dont know where goes and two wires behind the speaker that go nowhere. i think my problem may be more servere than than imobiliser as the fuse box smells a littl...

Fuel pump should only kick in when the engine cranks, so that's normal. This means something is interrupting the starter signal. Do the Diagnostic Start that andrew_baran links to. If it cranks from there then you have some sort of immobiliser on the starter signal wire which is, I think, black/yel...

"It wouldn't start!" really is the least amount of information you could give us :mad: Does it crank? Does it splutter? Do you have dash lights? Were you running on vapours before you pulled to the forecourt? If you think it's an immobiliser then try bridging the coil: http://www.e30zone.net/e30zon...

my car was running fine and i pulled up at the petrol station, got some beer come back out and it wouldnt start!!! the dash lights come but no fuel pump or power to the starter!! it had a sigma alarm on it (s**t) i thought this may be the problem so i have tried to cut the alarm out and fear i may h...

hi zoners,
i have a an e36 rack on my is at the moment and have been reading about the e46 067 rack, is there any difference in the lock to lock on the 46 rack to the 36 rack?

cheers, dan.

at around 3000 - 4500 revs i have a rattle!!! i have changed the cam chain tensioner, done an engine flush and put fresh oil in, at the same time checked the dredded bolts in the sump and it was all fine!! i took both aux belts off and the rattle went so i put the belts on individualy and the rattle...

im hoping between £200 -£400 on the management system, what would that buy me?

i want one that can be re-mapped easily as with the build i want to do im going to start with just the itb to begin with and do the rest in time but need to be able to adjust the manangement!!

Why the ITBs with a turbo? This project if completed will most certainly hurt your pocket just so you know. Few thousands at the very least . The most expensive thing I need to get is the management system cuz I'm gettin the itb's plenum turbo and pistons cheap and fellow zoner driftnethin prepares...

i am wanting to turbo my m42 is, i need some advice and direction on some things. what type of turbo should i get for a start? i work at a breakers so i can get a second hand turbo of somthing and adapt it to fit but most of what we have turbo wise are diesels?? will a diesel turbo work? we have a c...
