Wouldn't happen to wanna sell me an Afm, would you? Oh, and a note as far as pricing... A forum member bought my disassembled engine for $275 sans intake. He drove from like Arizona to here in Florida too.

I had the same issue. It was much more random. I had a shorted wire that was on the passenger side that somehow would cause my stall/nostart. I found where my wiring came loose and taped all the connections, I had no carpet and someone had kicked the wiring around a bit. My car is a project car so it was a mess at the time, and I blamed many things. Check to see that there is no short in front of the passenger seat where the harness runs across the floor tot he side of the car. No idea what wire as 3-5 were shorted in my car, so just a general inspection did the trick and I've had no issue since.

For any who actually read this...
It runs again! Roughly.
The Bosch Volvo 32# injectors are in, so it the fuel tuner, and now the old o2 is out and the wideband is wired and will be finished tomorrow. The supercharger is in, the new cam gears are on, and new gaskets all around, as well as some paintwork.
Now, I hope it is just a few tweaks from idling nicely, I am hoping the injectors are to blame for the bad lope at idle and not the cam timing, as it appears correct.

Wow, my iPhone really chopped up that thank you I wrote. I should be going out to install the wide band and computer later this weekend. I may put a build thread up soon, I have a lot to do to the car this month.

Yes, I've tried to do my own work. I really hate how most people want free legwork because of online forums. I just do not want to go out there and do something I mistaken and fry my ecu or run lean and kill my engine. So I just want someone who has been in my place to check my work. Thanks!

Engine management / M42 piggyback fuel controller wiring
« on: September 22, 2013, 11:15:07 PM »
Also on rev... trying to find someone who wants to give a once over.
So to be able to tune fuel my piggyback needs:
Power - Ground - AFM In - AFM Out - RPM In
The E30 M42 Motronic pins that correspond to this seem to be:
Power = Pin 54 (Red/Wt) [Tap]
Ground = Pin 55 (Brn/Or) [Tap]
AFM In/Out = Pin 41 (Grey/Yel) [Cut]
RPM Signal = Pin 74 (Blk) [Tap]
Would someone please check my work? Does it look like this will do?
I know it looks like I am asking for a handhold and I'm not denying it.
This is my first foray into wiring in this car. Next is LC-1 install.

Yeah you can see a little progress right in my sig. I have all the parts I need and after the move I will be putting it together. I had a pre-tune baseline dyno too, which I will post up when I write my thread.
