Just recently changed the engine in my sport from an alpina back to a standard engine and i have had nothing but problems from the loom being melted to the car starting then eventually cutting to now it wont start at all. i know its deffinately getting a spark but will not fire. so ive changed the fuel pump and all the ignition leads, distributor cap and plugs. So now i have no idea. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Chris

Did that then it ended up being the connection under the dash to the obc. Then it started idling at about 3.5k, so i changed the idle control valve and still the same thing???
