    Quit running, won't start...???

    Okay so I started this thread on E30tech and it even killed that forum apparently, soo....

    I was driving the other day in the rain, car stalled out, and now won't restart. I have changed the Crank position sensor because that is what it felt and sounded like the last time it failed, the ECU, AFM, spark plugs, FPR, checked compression, checked timing, checked the injector harness for corrosion, checked distributor cap and rotor and all test or look fine. I have fuel pressure and I have spark. What else is there? Any ideas? Throw em at me!

    Your timing belt could have jumped a few teeth. Have you checked that it is still where it should be?

      Timing is perfect, crank is at TDC right when Cam gear is, and I have compression so the valves are fine.

        Harmonic balancer had delaminated into 2 parts. Hope this helps anyone searching in the future!

            Replace your ecu relay if you haven't done so already.

              i know you said you checked the CPS but check it again, even if there is just the tiniest nic in it it wont work right.

                  It's bolted to the front of the crank.
