m52 conversion ....more help needed please

[stbaz]

ive got the engine and box (m52) into the 316 shell.....

have swapped over the barrel and key etc and the ews unit (yellow behind glove box)

the engine will turn over by key which i assume means the ews is doing as it should but it wont fire .... the fuel pum isnt coming on and i assume no spark either as if i generise the fuel pump realy with a power probe and turn the key it still wont fire.... any ideas ??

did you take the transponder unit from under the column as well?

do you have any other symptoms? sounds similar to the issue we had with the m3compact.

Now thats funny because that was my first thought.
