Engin wont start

[E30_DEL]

Hi guys i brought a 325i cab with the head gasket gone onit.. i have checked with bmw and got advice from other garages, they all said if the head gaskets has gone it shouldnt have problems starting up..

its a 325i auto with Clifford G5 alarm system.. i have checked the dipstick and the filler cap.. the water & oil havent seam to have mixed much yet. which is a good sign.

what other steps can i take 2 find out the problem.. so far i have done the following:
checked all fusues, stater-motor, battery, most of da wiringloom for any shorting n etc.

Thanks in advance for those who can help.

Is it turning over just not catching? or dead

Headgasket failure can make a car a bitch to get running

Are you sure the imobilisher is off? Ecu connected? relays ok? battery OK, starter motor not jamming?? Fuel getting through? engine sparking?? the list can go on and on

Really need a bit more info to narrow it down

hi mate the car is turning over.. wants 2 start but it does'nt... i have turned da alam off so im hope the imobilisher goes of with that..

i have checked the ecu its connected fine,starter motor turns fine.. fuel is getting through ok & also checked all da spark plugs n ht leads all sparking..
