Time for a new ECU DME
Well, After the defect of bmw not fixing the hoses behind the firewall and when you take a E36 to a car wash, the ECU compartment gets flooded with water and thus can ruin the ECU. I tried to fix it. however it does not work, Pelican parts http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech...DME-Repair.htm has a great guide on how to do it. However I believe my ECU is damaged beyond repair and my car simply won't turn over.  Has anyone had any difficulty swapping a ECU? I talked to my BMW mechanic and he said the ECU thing is quite common. Any advice or guide on how to get the part? ??? Thanks

call a dealership's parts dept. and ask. If they dont know ask for service, that MIGHT but usually just deal with customers. |

I tried to use the OBDI by stepping on the gas pedal 5 times but the Check engine light doesn't flash or anything.

So It turns out that it wasn't the ECU after all(installed 2 new ones and the car still wouldnt start), so i checked the fuel hose where the fuel rail is and guess what...no gas coming through, soo I think its the fuel pump, my car has 145k miles and was running strong before hand... i got one off of ebay(brand new) for 160(2nd day delivery) hope it works
