    I switched both around with no luck. One way i get spark, and the other way I do not. I leave it tjat way, and still no start.

    Feed/return can be backwards.
    Thanks

    Well, when I crank it fuel comes outs like a fountain at the hose that goes into the rail. I feel like the lines are right, but I will still switch them.

    I have an extra fuel rail with injectors, I think I might try and hook that up to make sure I'm getting fuel through the injectors.

    Keep it comming guys.
    Thanks

    Okay, so ONE of the two plugs comming from the tranny is the flywheels sensor. I do not need that. The other one is a reverse light? But where does it plug in?

    What should I double check about the fuel lines? When I crank it fuel comes out, no doubt about that.

    Double check your fuel lines, Ive fucked that up EVERY time Ive swapped in an e30 engine.

    I do have the Crankshaft position sensor at the front, yes.

    I have a misfire in cylinder 2 and 3 at idle.

    Car runs rough and shakes.

    I have
    -New Cap
    -New Rotor
    -Spark Plugs
    -Refurbished and flow tested m50 injectors (#17)
    -Somewhat clean gas (less than one gallon of old fuel I couldn't remove from tank, and about 7 new gallons with fuel system cleaner stuff in it)

    Help, what should I check?
