Hi, yes the fuel pump runs during cranking. Also the second ecu i bought was seen running before i bought it last weekend so im assuming it still works!

Hi , yes we've checked all of tjose, the problem liesxwith the ecu not switching the coil earth. If i take wire to earth and flash across the coil earth terminal i can create a spark, but i have changed the ecu and the crank sensors and the ecu is not switching the earth :/

Hi, thanks for your help. I have checked and the sensors are connected the right way round, and they are also giving the correct resistances although I don't know how to test if they are actually sending a signal. The coil is getting 12v and the earth side is getting a good connection to pin 1 on th...

my tech 1 325i (running motronic 1.0 ) and I have no spark :( the TDC sensor pickup had fallen off the flywheel but this has been repaired, and both crank sensors have been replaced. I have also tried a second ecu. the coil has a good earth when the ignition is off, but no earth when the ignition is...

where is the best place to get e30 parts? is there an e30 spares website or anything or is it just a case of looking for second hand parts? Im only looking for door seals and bits of trim but struggling to find new parts? Thanks, Tom

thanks for your help guys. the idle screw has definately been moved at some point because there is damage to the head of the screw, i will look at the wiki and reset haha i know the previous owner was not affraid of gettin out the spanners, so its possible things may have been adjusted haha but than...

Just bought my first e30, an 87 325i sport tech 1 :D its awesome! haha but just 1 slight problem with her. it idles at about 1200 rpm, and it does also appear to be running a little rich. ive already changed the throttle position swith, as this was faulty, and ive checked the blue temp sensor and th...

now this seems like the perfect place to ask a question! i have just bought a 1987 325i tech 1, my first e30 :D the only issue i have is that it idles quite high, at around 1200 rpm, and sometimes this can rise to 2000 although a blip of throttle brings it back to 1200. it is running the mototronic ...
