GAHH!
So I just threw a e36 non vanos loom in my non vanos swapped e30. I wanted a cleaner install than the rats nest I had before...
I converted the C101 properly according to the pin outs found on the RM European m50 swap guide. I've checked 20 times! Along with a few other sources.

Im showing an oil pressure light, no water temperature reading, ive got a very rough idle, and my air-fuel ratios are way too rich (I have an external wide band sensor).

My thinkings is that the ECU. isn't reading from the sensors so the ECU isn't switching out of 'start up' mode.
My sensor connections are correct, I've checked all fuses and relays.

Am I missing something here guys?


Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Have you tried swapping over the two temp sender plugs at the front of the head?

I'm going to try swapping ecu's to see if I fried anything in the process...
