E30 M3 not starting.

[maxfield]

Having problems starting the M3.

The car has been took to bits. (Throttle bodys, plenum and fuel rail) all now back together and won't start.

It's got fuel and has spark.

It does sometimes want to start but also backfires through the inlet, I have changed all the plugs around and made no difference.

I have also took the plugs out cleaned them. Also when I've took the plugs out I've turned the engine over and puffs of fuel have been firing out the whole. Excessive fuel? What would cause that?

I really am struggling to get it started and it's stressing me out.

Cheers,

Jamie.

I know it sounds very basic,Max,but are the plug leads on the correct plugs?

Tryed the leads every different way but has not made no difference. The car is on wasted spark anyway I believe. I don't know if I'm looking to far into it and it being something simple.

Have you got the right type of fuel in there..?
