To share the story
I have been working a a motor swap LS2 into a BMW Z3MCoupe for some time. Last weekend was the "Big Day" to light it off. Disappointment turned into frustrations into F its. So it sat the week.
Thursday, Lance posted his Phone number and I figured what the heck, can't hurt to call. Wow, did I hit the jack pot with a wealth of information and friendly advice. After about 15 minutes of chat, Lance offered his best guess solution. The solution though not exacly the problem, put me on the correct path to finding the problem. I had it diagnosed and repaired in under an hour.
For those interested, I was not getting spark or fuel. I figured it was a timing sensor problem but had know idea how to figure out how to go about a definative diagnosise. Swapping old and new sensors was no help. As it turned out, the aftermarket supplier that modified my harness had inadvertantly flipped the socket on the crank sesnor when he repaired the lead while converting it to a stand alone system. It was one of 3 damaged fittings on the harness when I sent it to him. Buy flipping the socket, it swapped pin A and C which is the 12v pos and neg supply to the sensor. A simple removal and replacement of the two wire pins on the socket fixed the problem. I was sceptical of my dianosise so did not expect the motor to light. The engine fired so fast when I started, I didn't even have time to get exited other than to rush around looking for leaks and allow the motor to run in a bit. It was showing a lean so I did not do a full driveline run in like I hoped. I'll need to have a tuner tweak things a bit. But thanks to Lance, the motor is alive. If Lance wasn't so damn far, I'd have him do it.
Thanks again Lance. I am a happy guy today.!!
