I have an 87 325is with a bolt on turbo kit. I have a mega squirt with a base tune for it and when I go to start the car I have spark from the coil to the cap. Nothing after the cap. I have replaced the plugs, plug wires, coil, cap/rotor, CPS sensor. In not sure why I can't get spark after the cap but even with everything replaced I get nothing. Does any one have any idea what this could be?

missing or damaged rotor? bad aftermarket parts? the 'key' to the rotor mount is off? -
If all the parts are new is there any other possible options? I'll look into getting fresh parts again but both rotors seem fine. What's the rotor key?Comment

it's the part that the rotor bolts to. It's keyed to the camshaft sprocket, so technically you can only put it on one way. Except, you can actually put it on wrong (I know because I've done it) which will damage the rotor.Comment

I'll look into that when I'm back at it today but I bolted back the way I took it off. Hopefully that's it.Comment

How did you end up bolting in on wrong?Comment
-
easy. I thought I had it lined up. It turned out I had a used one with a dent in it, so it 'felt' like it keyed in the correct spot, but it was actually 180 degrees off. Also it ruined the new $80 cap and rotor I had just put in.. :(Comment

I have a new cap and rotor laying around I’m not going to use if you want it for like $20 plus shipping. It has 500 miles on it
