Been off the road for maybe as long as 8 months. Put a 06/06 motor in it. Backyard job. Was driving fine, sounded good. Felt good. Wasnt rev'ing it past 3 grand at all. Wanna get it a custom tune before I give it a hiding.Today first day on road, only just got it registered. So this was the longest its been driven in months, only a 20 minute drive at that. (short drives to and from blue slipper etc before this).Was reversing in the drive way, it stalled. And wont kick over. Motor will half attempt to crank, the crank pulley maybe turns a third rotation.Its a new battery, and ruled that out with a jump start. same result.One thing in my mind, due to cooking the old motor im pretty paranoid about the temps. When I was driving it, if I stopped at some lights, I would notice the needle would move higher, once car was moving, it would quickly drop. Maybe only 1.5 mm of movement at most. Temp didnt go over half way. Pretty devestated, I had planned on driving it non stop all day :(I have a small suspicion that once it cools down completely, it'll crank. Will give that a go in a few hours.Any thoughts would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a calibration difference between a BA and BF motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didnt think it would be needed between a BA - BF. Even worse news, I cannot find my X3 anywhere. I have an obd scanner that will work with my iphone for codes.

I am assuming based on op's "cooked the last engine" comment that he has the BF long motor which would include the new cam gear that a BA ecu wouldnt drive correctly. Just throwing theories out there...Sounds like it needs a decent tuner to take a look.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
