Just replaced my fuel pump for no reason lol. It’s okay though bc old cars could always use fresh parts. Came out to be my Camshaft sensor and Crankshaft sensor. Replace those and then wahlaa 🪄. Ancel AD310 told me exactly what the issue was would definitely recommend to anyone
my 1997 e39 M52B28's new fuel pump, fuel filter, camshaft Position sensor as well crank sensor didn't help. Reused old stock camshaft. Cleaning fuel injector to spray atomize vapor brought back quick start .
Hey i hope you can help me, im lost at the moment. tried the things you did in your video, one thing that failed is I tested the fuel pump using test light, im not getting current. Tested the ground, its good. I bridged the pin in the relay, pump not energised. I jumped the fuel pump, it works. What could be the issue here? I replaced the crank sensor too, nothing changed. My only suspect is I have a break in the wiring to the fuel pump
Looks like you need new coils and spark plugs, the water destroyed them Cam , exhaust and crank sensors can not be made in China also your coil packs. You have to pay to play
Remove one of the front 2 coil packs and spark plug. With the coilpack plugged in, push the spark plug against the coil pack boot and somewhere on the passenger front inner fender well (one of the top struts nuts works well if you can manage to reach it). Then crank the car over and look to see if the plug is sparking.
In a later video, I did swap in and even tested spare DME’s in another car. The culprit for this crank no start issue ended up being low compression from stuck piston rings.
Usually the cam and crank sensors go out hand in hand and if it was obd2 it would have told you most likely too what the problem was.. that obd1 life trust me I know I’m living it lol
I have the same issue, i bought a m50 single vanos from a crashed e36 1993 and swapped it in my e30. The engine cracks but doesn’t start, fuel pump and all lights in the dash work no spark on the coils however
i have a problem with my e36,when i put the key in and rotate it all the lights come on only the oil pressure and battery light doesnt.When i hit the engine with a rubber hammer it will show every light but wont crank.It will start only when a person is hitting the engine constantly and the other person is turning the key to the run position.Anyone has a sugestion? my car is a 1991 e36 318i
@@Dylan_Draper i need to change the starter,you know a good video that shows how to change it because i only saw videos that didnt explain rly well or it was another model like e46
bought a e36 328i a 98' and been having a crank no start problem but I can occasionally get it to start and idle
Did you ever find out the reason why? I’m having the same issues
Any way you fixed it? Same issue
Looking forward to new vids with this e36

What year is your E36?
one of the first things i would check, this cars are known to have starting failures resulting from bad camshaft and crankshaft sensors
my 1997 e39 M52B28's new fuel pump, fuel filter, camshaft Position sensor as well crank sensor didn't help. Reused old stock camshaft. Cleaning fuel injector to spray atomize vapor brought back quick start .
Were you able to verify a ignition coil spark? And starter fluid to see if it would start as far as fuel deliveries concern
Yes, I eventually confirmed spark was present and fuel was being delivered (I have a few other videos following along the troubleshooting).

Hopefully you get it running man my e46 was a pain in the ass. What wheels are those though?
I did finally get it to fire over (covered in a later video in more detail). Essentially, the rings were stuck and the car had low compression.
The wheels are Mille Miglia MMII’s (17x8.5 et13). Currently have them listed for sale! (Located in PA).
@@Dylan_Draper im in jersey thats awesome to hear that it is good now we should def get a track day in one day
was fuel pump priming when ignition turned on first? having similar issue

The main reason for not starting ended up being stuck rings, however I did have at least a dead dme at one point.
@@Dylan_Draper How were you able to determine this? Compression test? I would have guessed CPS, dealing with a similar issue. CPS on order
@@sighsohigh I have 3-4 more videos going through diagnostic process and showing what I did along the way
👍
My brothers car has compression and gas but he don't have a spark tester and no place to ground it
Remove one of the front 2 coil packs and spark plug. With the coilpack plugged in, push the spark plug against the coil pack boot and somewhere on the passenger front inner fender well (one of the top struts nuts works well if you can manage to reach it). Then crank the car over and look to see if the plug is sparking.
That’s assuming it’s an e36…
tip use only original bmw krank sensor
Non-BMW sensor wont even start. Went back to reuse the 25 years old sensor . Check fuel injector.
Hello try changing the engine computer

2:52 so that's the normal fuel pressure?
Mine is not squirting that much. Maybe I have to try to replace the fuel pump and filter

Are you “hitting” it in any a specific place? It sounds to me like an issue with the starter.
@@Dylan_Draper im hitting it at the intake
@@piquantg7072 I would check all the wires to the starter and make sure they are on correctly and tight.
