Abstract: We present an algorithm to determine if the $ L$-series associated to an automorphic representation and the one associated to an elliptic curve over an imaginary quadratic field agree. By the work of Harris-Soudry-Taylor, Taylor, and Berger-Harcos, we can associate to an automorphic representation a family of compatible $ \ell$-adic representations. Our algorithm is based on Faltings-Serre's method to prove that $ \ell$-adic Galois representations are isomorphic. Using the algorithm we provide the first examples of modular elliptic curves over imaginary quadratic fields with residual $ 2$-adic image isomorphic to $ S_3$ and $ C_3$.
