I bought my motor for $900 (too much now that I realize it). You're in the right place, there are plenty of information in this section.

UPDATE***
everything is in. Hooked the batter up with a universal thingy, and electrics work. Everything works up until when I go to turn the motor over. I turn the key and nothing, not even a click.
some info so you all know:
my 318 is a 96, the donor 328 is a 98
replaced 318 DME w/ donor 328 DME
replaced 318 EWS w/ donor 328 EWS module (behind glove box)
swapped key chips from donor 328 key to my 318 key
what could be wrong? I did all of this while the battery was unplugged too.
what could it be? | | | | | 09-23-2009, 06:35 PM | #150 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |
