E30 Zone

So first problem when i turn the key the ignition comes on but the engine wont turn over. however if i pridge the solanoid it does.

next problem my fuel pump dosent seem to be runing, checked fuse and wiring seems ok, but im unshure where the relay for it is?

any ideas would be great

thanks

Fuel pump shouldn't be running if the crankshaft's not turning.
Has this engine ever cranked on the key since the engine conversion, or is this a problem that has developed since? There is no relay for the starter solenoid in a manual gearbox E30. Solenoid is switched directly by the ignition switch.

Fuel pump didnt seem to run when i bridged the solanoid either.
No the engine hasn't cranked off the key at all.
the e30 was an auto if that makes any difference.

Have you reconfigured the black/yellow starter wire to remove the auto gearbox start inhibitor?

Ahh no i havent. How would i go about doing this?

Cheers

It's well documented on the zone, and probably in the wiki as well!
Find two black/yellow wires connected to two black wires by single pole plugs and sockets above the glove box area. Pull both of them apart, and plug the two black/yellows together.
The blacks are part of a separate loom that goes to a relay, and this relay and loom can be removed.

Ahh damit i read the auto to manual part of the wiki.
Thanks allot for your help tho
