Put m52 in my car lastnight and connect it all up today, turn the key and nothing!...... No click, nothing.....

Please help me....

I ripped out a healthy m50 to do this and now I can't get it to run

Either a simple wiring fault, or, if you've fully connected the EWS, including the starter inhibit, it could be a problem there.
Engine to body earth lead OK?
Battery + connected to starter motor OK?
Black/yellow starter wire on the correct starter motor terminal?
What happens if you link 11 and 14 on the diagnostic socket?

Jesus man, early start for you today! Hope you get sorted, keep us updated

Yeah will do mate lol

Brian, I just bolted down earth straps so they are sorted, checked battery terminals are tight.

Now she's turning but not firing..... Maybey I have fuel supply and return the wrong way round? She's turning nicely but won't fire right now

are you getting a click from the EWS module after switching on the ignition?

Its ok lee.....

Update- SHE LIVES!!!
Putting her back together today then having my lambda ports cut and welded in tomoro. Happy days

Loose earth straps and I got fuel supply and return the wrong way round! Doh stupid me haha

Happy days, ya must be delighted

I was just about to call you see if you sorted it

we've all been there

bet your buzzing its going

Lol dan, after I got off the phone to u a got her to crank over but not fire and I scratched my head and thought "I wonder if I would be so stupid" lol....... And I was! Hehe, school boy error

Thanks guys, and ohhh yes she goes like **** and I'm real happy with it, also she feels more agile up front compared to having the m50 in there!

My only problem at the mo is I have no power steering??? Why could that be?

Pipes on the wrong way?

Can't see how I could mix them up though dan tbh, the 22mm went in the side and the 19mm nut (e30 pipe) went into underneath on my m50 pump so this is what I've done to this pas pump.

Only problem is I put the 22mm pipe on using the nut as usual but the bottom connection on the 52 pas pump was an outlet that one puts a hose over and jubilees, if you get me mate??.... So guess what I did....... Lol

Steering is very heavy and pump making noise like failing or empty but I've filled it

I had this problem with my US spec e30. I found i had to change the rack for a pas. the previous may have been hydro assisted rather then high pressure. Its a guess, but changig the rack worked.

I've run an m50 through this rack though mate set up in exact same way. I plucked the m50 yesterday and now I have this problem.

I think the pump is fuked tbh

Hey ant, I got a pump for you if you want mate as it's for a good cause it's free

Nice 1 mat, pm on its way mate
