You now need to wire by-pass the EWS module. PM me and I can send you a couple images to help you. PLEASE DON'T SHARE IT as it allows any E36 BMW to have the EWS bypassed...  | | | | | 01-19-2009, 07:27 PM | #3 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: mcguire afb Posts: 12 |

Best of luck to you! I have pics in my thread of OBDII to OBDI, EWSII to EWS0 (none) and doesnt require you to touch the EWS units or buy an EWS delete chip. Also, if everything is done properly, check the crank position sensor for fault. Also, are you sure you have the correct lines setup in the engine bay? Its not hard to get them mixed up and ground a hot lead or vice versa. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone
