    Engine is in. No spark. Any suggestions? (video)

    Whats up guys..
    So I just ran into a little problem. The stock engine just got installed into my 1990 325i sedan, but it won't spark. It turns over, crank piston sensors are hooked up, checked all the fuses in the fuse box, firing order is all correct, and the engine turns over! The only problem that I have is that the coil isn't getting a signal. There is NO spark..

    Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips for me? I really wanna get this car on the road and have been waiting too long for it to be finally done!
    Anyone? Thanks in advance!!


    Here is what it sounds like:

    The first thing to check is to make sure that the main relay is good and that you didn't get the CPS and Cylinder ID sensors swapped.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          To start the run you need fuel + air + spark. If you do not have spark then check for root cause then check for fuel and fuel pressure.

            So turns out I had a bad coil AND a bad cap/rotar. Feel like an idiot..
