Picked up a 88 bmw 325i last summer, seller said it was leaking oil in coolant.
Took the head off and got the machine shop to check it and do any reconditioning it needed. Has the M20 engine.
Finally got around to putting the head back on, along with new water pump, timing belt kit, etc...
I've got everything back together and it will crank over, the fuel line is pumping gas & the spark plugs have spark.
It just won't start or even start and die. Just cranks over fine though.
The only thing I might double check is the wiring harness that is below the intake manifold and goes into a circular bracket into another circle connector. I think I go it in good but idk what else could be wrong. It had under a quarter of a tank of year old gas in it, I put another gallon of fresh gas in it. The old gas seemed very gassy as when I removed the fuel line I was blasted in the face with pressurized fuel.
I checked the timing 6x's, even did the belt 2x's just to make sure the cam and crank were lined up very very well with a nice snug belt. Cranked over by hand with no issues.
Any help please, I am a little bummed its not starting after so much work.
