Hey pliz help.
I own a bmw320i E36 (1992).My problem started after changing plugs, l realised the pple who had serviced the car had used ordinary spark plugs not the ones recommended by bmw.Since then l have fitted new spark plugs, air filter, oil filter,fuel pump.l hv also changed the crank shaft position sensor and transmission fluid.Regardless of all this the probem persisted ,when l accelarate
to take off the car would loose power but will still idel rough without cutting off though.Recently it just died.if you turn the key it cranks nicely , but there is no spark and no fuel.if you plug the diagnostics tool it reads ECU can,t be accessed.Is my Computer box dead?.thx in advance!

howzit man welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about the issues!

when you turn the key to the second position can you hear the fuel pump priming? (that tjshhhh sound) or it it dead?

unfortunately I have never encountered that problem of not being able to access DME maybe some of the other guys can help there

all the best hope you come right :thumbs:
