Engine + Driveline / m42b18 engine problem, powerloss/death
« on: March 06, 2016, 06:13:42 AM »
Hello.
So as everyone else i got m42b18 swapped from e36 in to my e30 coupe.
The other day I was driving and expieriencing some powerloss + electricity loss or something, which leaded to car not getting started after all.
Mind that swap has been done 2k KM ago, and all the parts have been changed - filters, oil, fluids, water coolant, sparks and so on.
Only thing that i got to mention is that head gasket seal has been blown off(causing coolant loss and high pressure in coolant houses,, I am aware of that and I was just right about to swap the whole gasket in few days, but now this problem occured. Could the problem be caused because of this?
Also got to mention that it seems like the fuel pump is'nt pumping the fuel/turning on because before this problem was taking place, I could easily hear that it's running every time I turn ignition.
2 videos of a problem:

any ideas?
