TDC sensors like to break off the flywheels, without it no timing signal, no start.

Use a simple test light on the negative side of the coil, crank and if it flashes you got a crank signal, if no flash then ECM is not receiving or outputting timing signal.

Early models use 2 to sensors in the side of the trans, 1 counts the flywheel teeth and this is used as your RPM signal, the other is a single small brick shaped piece of metal fused to the flywheel in a specific position to indicate TDC to the ECM.

This little brick likes to break off, thus no signal to the ECM. Most common cause is a neglected clutch and the tabs break off the throw out bearing and go whipping around in the bellhousing inevitably taking out the TDC pin.

If that ends up being the problem I got a slick way to fix it, without pulling the trans or replacing the flywheel ;)

Good Luck and nice find.

great find, my first e30 was an ES. I would get a spare ecu that has no issues and plug it in, just to rule it out

go get a pressure pack made up of bronzit and re-spray under that front bumper.. Will make it look so much cleaner!

The rotas look the goods suprisingly!

Nice. I saw this car at C&O a few months ago. I loved the tan houndstooth sport interior

Do gloss black wheels, I see that look really good with Bronzit. Good save and good work on the car so far.

no no no no no. Black wheels rarely look good on any car. Black hides the features of the wheels and makes them look like blobs. This is my opinion of course but the bronze is tits!
