BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2012 Hi Y'all, I've been off the rd for near 6 months now. Was never in a hurry, blew the water pump, had to get help to get the engine fan off. Put it all back together and no go. Channged the petrol pump. No go. Changed the Crank angle sensor. No Go Borrowed a cam angle sensor. No Go Bought a code reader, says main power to DME. I do have spark, and fuel pressure, but no go... Bit worried about the CAS gearwheel on the balancer, all signs are pointing that way, it'd had a bit of a scrape, nothing much more than a few scratches... What about distance for the CAS? Simple plug and play, they don't seem to have any means for adjusting them. Bought OEM item for $42 US, no go, so 'borrowed a new one $329 no go... Replaced all 3 relays, no go. Can get a DME out of a trashed 540i, but not keen on taking it to the shop and paying top $ for parts... \Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated.

BM WORLD 1258 Report post Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) if you have spark that means the crank angle sensor is working ok. so means you might not have injector pulses unplug the cam sensor and try that. moisture/corrosion in the ecu (have seen that a few times) test plug in the 4L ecu will run ok. also make sure you have a good battery that cranks fast. could be flooded ,just keep cranking with your foot flat on floor. pull a plug out see if its wet etc Edited May 18, 2012 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peake scan tool says code 1A Control Unit Supply. Have changed the relays.. Is there something else in the electrical line I can change/ look at/ tinker with?I tried starting it with a can of 'start ya bastard' almost fires, but not quite? Thought if it were fuel/ injectors it would fire using this? I've booked it in to the German (Peter's Master Mechanic Rockingham) Wednesday. Meanwhile I've changed the headlights, installed new foglights, sanded and painted the bumper. grill, and front panels, looks real nice, sitting in my garage... The DME donor car... He paid $500 for it (T boned) sold engine and trans to E38 $9K, not a bad days work! That's Andy Beemer Motor Works Maddington to any WA fans here!
