If you have this problem like me so it can be you have a bad ecu because that was my problem

I have a problem when i give my e30 m50 about half throttle it stalls but when i let go off the throttle it runs good. I thought it was because i had no exhaust and the lambda was not pluggd in but today when i hade made my own exhaust i tried it but it was the same :? But i had a exhaust leak betwe...

what is beter if the spring and coilover is together or if the coilover and spring is separate?

WD40 is not going to lubricate the fan shaft for long, all it does is wash the old lubricant and crap out. Might free it up for a while, but it is not a permanent fix. I have never had much luck reviving my fans either, but at least you need to re-oil after the WD40. I have 2 fans, I stand the fan ...

I have a bmw e30 coupe 1986 and the blower motor was ceased and didnt move so i took it out and sprayed much wd40 on it and then i got it to move but now when i have it in the car it only work on 4 and 5 and it only goes for 5sec and it clicks and it stops and after 30sec it starts again and keep go...

Aftermarket tacho. should work, as long as it's the type that will work on 'low' voltage pulses, rather than the type that picks up high voltage pulses from the ignition EHT. If you're measuring a varying voltage with engine revs on the black wire, then the ECU is probably OK. Can'y you borrow or b...

If you're sure that the black wire is continuous, all the way from pin 47 of the ECU to pin 7 of the blue plug of the instrument cluster, and is not shorted out to another wire somewhere along the way, then either the ECU or the instrument cluster must be faulty. If you have access to such a tool, ...

One of the two versions of the SI circuit board (which also hosts the tacho. circuitry) has two NiCd batteries on it, which provide memory power when the engine is off. These batteries have a limited lifespan, and when they fail, tend to go short circuit. The batteries may hang on for years in norm...

SI leds = Service interval display - the 5 green LEDs + 1 amber + 1 red in the lower middle of the instrument cluster. I think I probably know the answer to your problem from the second answer you gave. An '86 E30 will probably have the tacho. signal (and fuel rate signal) going from the ECU to the...

Do the SI leds in the instrument panel work?
What age is your car, and what model ?

okey whats the SI leds?
its an bmw e30 320 coupe 1986

My tach dont work but i have read online that it can be the coding plug but if its the coding plug thats wrong does the tach move at all or can it be dead because i have read that you need a new coding plug if the rpm dont read right but havent seen anything about the tach not move at all

okey now i need help with the wiring from the engine to the body so i can see the rpm and stuff but i alredy know the wires that need to be connected to start but the rest of them i need help with and i only have the connector on the body side so its a little bit harder but i hope someone that know ...

hehe okey my bad it was only to old fuel

i thought that the fuel that was in the car was not that old but todays fuel is so bad so it was not enough to start it but it did start right upp with new fuel

can it have something with the vanos to do?

okey so now i have my e30 with m50b25 vanos engine but it wont start i have fuel spraying out of all injectors spark in every cylinder i have checked all connections but it wont start but sometimes you hear it kind of want to start but i dont go all the way any tips?

Today i got the head back from the machine shop and 5 valves was bend

But now that is fixed so the head is like brand new. And i think that it was the timing thats was off a little that caused it so im gonna correct it when i put it back togheter.

yes im going to take it to a machine shop. And after that it should start but thanks for all the help

it was very little play in the valve guides so do you think i just can change the stem seals and clean and grind the valves?

But does the seal do anything with the oil in the cylinders or?

If you suspect the valve stems are bent (thus causing lack of seal in the valve seat, and low compression), then they will have to be replaced. Find out what caused them to bend in the first place! If they aren't bent, then remove them and replace the valve guides and/or valve stem seals (if fitted...

Now the head is off an the valves on the cylinders that had bad compression is leaking alot but how do i fix? does it help to just buy new valves or?

Speedtouch wrote:I've only ever worked on one twin cam head, which was a Renault Clio RS 182, but you ideally need to use a tool (either bought or made) to lock the cams at the correct position prior to fitting the timing chain/belt and torqueing up the head.

Yes i have that tool

That would normally be down to either a failed head gasket or extremely worn valve guides. Okey i have new head gasket so. But im gonna have to pull the head and look at the valves but how do i make the timing right its a little bit of the cams should be 45° to at tdc but they are not that. Do you ...

Thats not gd. I have never heard of a M50/M52 to jump the timing. These engines are quite good at not jumping. You sure you haven't bent valves ?? I need to check it but i think its best to pull the engine not many bolts to undo to pull it out just my luck that every think is fu### up when i try so...

i didnt get it to start so i started look for problems i have looked at the timing it is a little bit off but it runned like that before so i also did a compression test on all 6 cylinders and it was not good on 1. cylinder i got 9bar little low but i did go on 2-4 was good and then 5 was only 5 bar...

i disconnected all wires that was going from engine harness to body harness and only wired pin 18, 13 and 7 so it had to be a wrong wire that messed all up that was wired to the body harness

Okey now i have spark and fuel finally but the the battery die

so when its re charged it mayby starts

Dont anybody know?

do anybody know if the second wire that needs to go to pin 7 can be a diffrent color?

Now i have removed the all wires that goes to the transmission plugg and joined all the wires that goes to the ecu plug from transmission plug to 12volt and nothing did change Is this the right thing to do? I mean did you know these all wires have to be connected to 12v+ or did you just guess? I'm ...
