Engine management / ti ecu
« on: May 06, 2009, 08:36:07 AM »
Jester,
I know exactly what you are going through. I had the very same problem with my car. The P.O. had installed a ti DME in my car, which is an iS. It would start, idle and it had full throttle but nothing else. I had to get the EWS DME to make it work properly. Sorry for your woes but you need the proper dme and a trip to the shop to get it aligned with the ews.
The answer to the previous post is: EWS is the drive away protection installed on 95 and later models. There's a ring around the ignition tumbler that interrogates the key every time you start the car. this sends a signal to the EWS module and allows the fuel and ignition signal to get to the DME which of course allows the car to start. The door locks are also figured in there as well somewhere.
A friends car wouldn't start if you unlocked it from the drivers door but would run just fine if you unlocked the car from the trunk or the other door.

if the TPS is unplugged and the car ran the same does that mean its broken/faulty?
Probably....

Engine management / 92 318is with a 95 318ti engine swap - won't start

Have you:
jumped the fuel pump relay to test the pump?
pulled a spark plug to check the spark?
I should think that a pre EWS ll DME would work since it's the engine you have changed and not the DME or ignition switch.
Now, the 92 had an air flow meter. Does the 95 have an AFM or MAF?

Being a pre EWS ll car, you shouldn't need to take to be aligned.
