Need Assist w/Motronic 1.3 Conversion & Limp Mode
Need Assist w/Motronic 1.3 Conversion & Limp Mode
Hello,
Has anyone successfully converted to Motronic 1.3 on a 4 HP 22 EH trans equipped car? If so, did you have to do any additional/specific steps with the trans circuit? The trans is stuck in limp mode and what good is that after all the effort?
ANY info you may have would be greatly appreciated.
This inquiring mind needs to know!
Thanks,
D.

E24 635CSi trans computer and harness - at least the computer. They changed it in 6/1987 (code AB). It's specific to the '88-'89 E24, which runs Motronic 1.3. Should plug right into your existing harness. Of course, this is the third time I've mentioned this.
Of course, you're looking for a literal answer to your question, which would be no, I've never done this conversion.

Been to Autobahn. Even bought a gift certificate at the auction...wkohler wrote:You don't have to go to the yard...
Autobahn probably has one, and of course, there's bigcoupe.
Maybe I should believe in Santa Claus 'cause I don't know how he does what he does either.wkohler wrote:I believe there's a good chance this will work, though I'm also not sure what wires were moved around in trying to get the light to shut off, so that could affect things further.

Just wondering what type of connections you've done to the tranny computer. Have you supplied it power to pin 35? Are you using the original TPS or the round plugged B35 TPS? I have no idea if they're electrically equivalent but they may be since both provide a variable signal.MLastovo wrote:Hello,

I would think, without having done any research that is, that one out of an E32/34 would work too, didn't they use the same engine management, at least the early cars, as the B35 E24s? On the other hand, I seem to vaguely recall something about later 4HPs using a slightly different connector, which might complicate life.
Now you are talking more specific to the issue. Not that you weren't familiar.wkohler wrote:Of course, I would really like to see something else happen first, but doubt that's happening.
At this point I am likely to plagiarize your sig and have a fire sale. How many M5 trunk kits can one guy have if he doesn't have an M5 or even a BMW? And the Alpinas will be back from the wheel shop very soon and I know there must be somebody that would like a set of powdercoated open lug wheels.
Maybe a Chevy Cobalt is in my future. With the $3k that was raised to paint the '88 I should be able to put some really bitchin' Hot Wheels flames on it and have the baddest Cobalt in the 'hood.

Which attitude are you referring to? The one relating to where I asked a question and the reply(s) was/were not relevant? If so, your ‘attitude calibration’ needs some, er, calibrating. If you have some other attitude angle please present it.Alfonso Bedoya wrote:MLastovo wrote:And your contribution to the technical assist is what specifically?Alfonso Bedoya wrote:X2turbodan wrote:Fantastic attitude.

At least my attitude doesn't stink like ass/
Or were you and the OP referring to Linus’ attitude?

You know what, Chris? I have always been nice to you and defend you to other forum members that talk shit about you (in fact, I did so on Saturday night) but I'm pretty tired of you and don't really have the energy to deal with you. I'm nice to you, offer to help you out, and generally leave you alone even when you are being intentionally difficult. Even after you telling me to go fuck myself in a post last night just because I was trying to point something out I thought you missed because I can't always tell when you are being sarcastic, I was still going to send you those RZ center caps you need. I don't get the constant antagonizing and don't get why you are trying to push my buttons when I've never done anything to you. Rather than throw a hissy fit and turn it into some sort of useless flame war, I'd prefer it if you'd simply ignore my posts if they are not directed at you. I will be happy to do the same. I'll even ignore the fact that you still owe me $5.wkohler wrote:The sellers on there are more worthless than stuff you have to buy to advertise for someone else.
