E24 with no fuel or spark

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have a car with no spark and no power to the fuel pump.

The other weird thing is the park lights go continuiously.

Have cleaned all the fuses relays and all other connections. Not sure where to check if there is power to the ECU.

I haven't removed the distributor (a pain to do) as I figure the problem is before it.

Any suggestions much apreciated.

It had one Brent but the previous owner said it was disconnected before it was put in storage.

Then again he did say that it was removed because it kept going off when the battery went flat.

I would have thought that they would reconnect the wires where the imobiliser would be joined in but maybe the just ripped it out.

its probably not disconected they just cut the wires to the siren . thats why the lights are on its still active etc .

you shoudl be able to just rejoin the wires under the dash where they cut into them in most cases . heavy green wire is ignition power , red wire is battery power , black with yellow strip is starter wire , purple is radio etc

parks staying on normaly means there is still an alarm in there.

the other thing the guy might have done is just put the car in valet mode so you didnt need a remote to use the

car.

If you need an alarm tech to check it out for you im glad to help

Yes it is the dogleg that was in a barn for 12 years off Trademe.

I was only looking for a gearbox for my E9! Apart fron rust in the front guards the E24 is in pretty good nick.

Oh well looks like I have a pair of coupes now.

Well it's Wednesday and the Auto Sparkie hasn't managed to get here yet.

Are you saying you are an alarm Tech and you could come and have a look?

All go now so thanks to all for the help.

It was a faulty main relay, bridged the two 87 terminals and away it went.

A $10 part was all that was stopping it from going.

Not a bit of smoke from it and I'm surprised at how smoothly it runs.
