    BMW was all put back together, went to start it, cranked over fine, sounded good, just didn't fire up. So we took the intake/fuel line+rail/air stuff off, going to look where vacuum lines go and shit. Ugh.

      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.

                                  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!
