Hi again Guys

this is another 320 that I'm tryin to get going. As above Ive good spark and fuel pressure, car is turning over and just about to start but does'nt, I also swaped around the ecu with another with the correct numbers, no joy.

I know theres a couple of things I should be checking can you giv me a list?

thanks again

Crank sensor ?
Check the wires not rubbing on the water pump pully.
There is NO nucleus.

DME relay is probably fubar(5 pin, on strut tower n/s/f), change it for a new/known working unit and try again.

could be flooded try unplugging the injector rail or removing the fuel pump relay turn it over an let the fuel burn then plug it back in and try again?

Try Ezi-start sprayed down it. If it fires then the injectors probably are not.
You should be able to hear the injectors clicking.....
.... could be DME relay 8O
