starting problems

27 Aug 2010, 11:10pm
Hi all,

I've got some issues trying to start my 3.0 m3 engined car, Its wired in, turns over but the fuel pump doesn't prime/no spark, i've checked the relays and even changed engine looms!! what else could cause this?

Thanks in advance.

The same thing happens to my M52 when the immobiliser cuts in ie it hasn't received the correct rolling code from the ECU. I don't know if this is the same on an M3?
