    Ze dreaded no start strikes again, help

    OK so I am ready to start the S52 and it it cranking very solid, fuel is all the way up in the lines, fuel supply is hooked into silver hard line, everything is hooked up correctly but it is not starting at all. Any pointers, potential troubleshoots?

    Are the plugs getting wet? Is it sparking?

        Sounds like the CPS or a grounding issue.

          The cps was the one you gave me, block is grounded, harness is grounded, dme is grounded w/ 318 dme chassis, what else to look for?

            check the resistance of the CPS. I thought you said you got another one?

                Cam sensor wouldn't keep it from starting. Also, consider my Hall to VR converter. You have a perfectly good Hall sensor in the back of your block.

                  A potential problem could be the DME Ignition Power (C101 Pin 7, Green Wire). I will try to come over around 5ish on Wednesday and give you a hand.

                          stupid mistake on my part, I was pretty drunk when putting in a TRM chip, thought i put it in the right way but didnt, swapped chip around and then perfect.

                            lol. Don't think I could do that drunk. First thing I want to do after installing a chip is torture the car and make sure it works. :p

                            Edit: But I suppose you could have done an EWS delete, or just done the chip before the motor was running.

                              Hence why booze and working on your car don't go hand and hand. I always enjoy one after I finish working.
