Okay guys, It's been a long time since I've needed any technical help with the car (that's because the car's been in storage for a while now) and I'm stuck.
So I did all the "pulling the car out of storage" tune up stuff that is normally done (battery, oil, coolant, fuel drain, fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, oiled the pistons, Lucas fluids, mystery oil, etc, etc). and the car won't start.
It turns over and I can smell fuel but it won't turn on.
I opened up the cap and rotor and it was worn and corroded so I ordered a new set and swapped it in and nothing. I also tested the wires and the ignition coil and I got nothing. I can't get any spark off the plugs and I tried right off the ignition coil and I got nothing.
I run a LINK system, which piggybacks and I unhooked it all and took the car to "stock" and nothing. It's not the LINK.
The ECU was stored separately from the car in a box in a cool, dry room. I opened up the ECU and there is no moisture or corrosion or anything that would sound alarms.
I read and researched around and from what I can figure out I think I've narrowed it down to the CPS (crank position sensor). Would this cause the car not to fire? Is this the only thing that's left? Any other stones I should look under?
My goal was to have the car running for BimmerFest this Saturday but i don't think I'm going to make it for obvious reasons.
Thanks in advance!
