I have a 95ti with a 95M3 motor, a 413 ecu with an ews delete chip. I am getting no gas and no spark. I can jump the fuel pump relay and get gas. The motor and harness were bought seperately as was the ecu. The ti is an 11/95 production. Any help would be great. thanks | | | 03-10-2006, 04:07 AM | #2 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | I have responded to your PM but I'll do so here as well for the benefit of the group. First thing I see is the production date of the car. 11/95 is most likely a 1996 model year. The fact that you have the EWS system, drives this home. Now you are trying to mate a 1996 car with a 1995 harness. Not impossible, but I think actually more difficult than if a 1996 engine/harness/ECU were used. Second, is what exactly is a EWS delete chip? The EWS must have a power lead satisfied- it cannot be "cut out" of the system without shutting down. The fact that you can "hot wire" the fuel pump relay reinforces this theory. I think the EWS is still doing it's job. Since you essentially have an OBD-II conversion to OBD-I, I suggest you contact Brett Anderson at Koala Motorsports for assistance (which he may or may not charge you for). He is quite knowledgeable in the OBD-I swaps, and helped me a bit while I was preparing to do my swap. His OBD-II knowledge is limited, so he could only help me "so far", and I had to figure a few things out on my own. In the end, I'm quite pleased overall, and his help, knowledge and experience was invaluable in assisting me. You can tell him Jim Leach sent you, but I doubt he'll remember me, as it was quite a few years ago now... Best of luck with your project. | | | 03-10-2006, 04:20 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 4 | to my knowlege EWS has been around since at least 94 in 3 series and M3's production dates of 1/95 and on have EWSII. My ti is listed as a 95 model year by vin, ie the 10th character is an S which signifies a 95. I cant find an OBDII port on the car either i cant just assume its an OBDII because its late production. Thanks for your insight. | | | 03-10-2006, 04:37 AM | #4 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | 1995 production date as you have verified by the VIN, but 1996 model year; IE it has all the features etc of a 1996 car. This is the difference between production date and model year (and other changes occurred "mid-year" as well). The time frame you are in is a very gray area for the ti's, and I'm hesitant to offer any advice because of it. It is quite likely I would have had similar problems if I was in your position- you have a bit of a project there I'm afraid. | | | 03-10-2006, 04:56 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 4 | it is indeed grey, I take it you would have told me how to verify one way or the other if you knew how to tell if it was OBDI or OBDII. BTW i spoke with brett at KMS today he thinks it in the wiring, between the original ti stuff an the new M harness. I initially didnt mention it because i didnt want to lead you, you seemed to have a lot of knowledge and i didnt want to misdirect you. I checked some things he mentioned and i cant see that its a problem but i am not an wiring diagram pro. thanks again | | | 03-10-2006, 04:57 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | One way to tell if it's OBD-I or OBD-II is the code test using the gas pedal. Does anyone have the procedure to read OBD-I codes? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 03-10-2006, 05:16 AM | #7 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | how about the presence or lack of the OBD II port on the lower left dash? by law it had to be there on OBD II cars. my 96 has it. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 03-10-2006, 05:19 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | We are also assuming it is a US spec car. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 03-10-2006, 05:36 AM | #9 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 4 | car is us spec and there is no OBDII port under driver dash | | | 03-10-2006, 05:58 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | If it is OBD-I it has an AFM instead of a MAF. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
