    Make sure your reference and speed sensor are not reversed.

        On the rear support for the intake manifold ... There are 2 cutouts that hold them. They both go down to the side of the bell housing on the transmission

            Those were the two connections that I mentioned the e30 guys always get mixed up after doing engine stuff.

                  Okay okay. Those 2 I do remember.

                  So if those 2 are switched the car will turn over but won't start?

                    You wont get spark if they are switched since the crank position sensor will not send a signal to the ECU and the ECU will not know to discharge the ignition coil.

                            What was the issue? were the connectors mixed up?

                                Yup, there are 3 connectors, 2 are black, one is grey, I figured the grey one went to the thing that plugs into the intake, but it doesn't, so that was why it didn't fire up. But it fired up yesterday, doing a vinegar clense on the motor with water to get all the build up out, flushing the system a few times, then gunna get it filled with coolant!
