To follow up on this in case someone else needs to know, I went ahead and tracked the other side of this to a gland/bulkhead port behind the driver's footwell trim under the center console. That line...

Yes, 5 speed does not have overdrive. They fixed that in 2004-2006, which has a 6 speed manual. You could find one of those.

Does interchangeability also go for flywheels? It's dodgy out there about what fits e53. You would think anything with an m54 and the same crank bolt pattern would fly. My 23 year old dmf is still in...

I'm interested to see how you hook up the batteries and solar. I have all the stuff to do that, but never got to it. I was going to use an isolator so I could run the extra battery/solar combo...

I had the same problem with a dead cat. I decided to chuck the manifolds and use headers. Would have been done long ago but decided to add cats to the headers and therefore, complications arose.

You are going to want replacements for the manifold studs and nuts.

3.0 started for the first time in 3+ years

A little over 4 years ago, I drove my 3.0 X5 to my new house. It ran like garbage because at least one of the cats was dead, from running way to rich. It would hardly go more than 30pmh and needed to...

Old fuel pump was dead.


However, still blowing fuse 47. Does anyone know where ground X492 is--it is the ground for the fuel pump, among other things.

Could this be a result of a bad/improper engine ground? Like the engine wiring harness has a short in it?

Back from the dead. Using INPA first, and then another machine with ISTA, I checked EWS alignment. Both keys are registered and EWS is not my problem.

If the BST is open, the starter should not crank at all, correct? So starter turning but no fuel is something else. I opened my German INPA and realigned EWS but still have no fuel, no engine run....

How does it 'not allow' fuel injection, specifically? Will it not power on the pump?


If BST fails, does it also not power the fuel pump?

That's the plan. Jumper up the pump relay again and then see if I have voltage at the pump connector. If there's voltage and no pumping, she's dead, no?
