CPS Question! Car wont start!

[Cody Vent]

My 89 325i died suddenly on the freeway with no stutter or hesitation. I tried the fuel and main relays, and replaced the CPS with no luck. I can smell fuel when cranking, not super strong but I can smell it. I do not hear the fuel pump priming though im not sure if I should be able to or not.

My question about the CPS is that the new CPS I got, the plug end is not the same as the one that i replaced it with. it fits in the connector but the wire comes out of the opposite side of the plug then the original. Could this be a problem???

This may be obvious, but did you make sure you didnt mix up the crank position sensor plug with the other one that goes to the spark plug impulse sensor?

[Cody Vent]

I did actually, but caught that I had done so,then corrected it :p But still nothing

[Cody Vent]

Because I did noticed the impulse sensor plug is exactly the same as my new CPS, so that is how i plugged the wrong one in

Look in your oil filler hole, is the cam turning? As in, broken Timing belt?

Do you have spark?

These would be my two suggestions/questions as well.
