530i doesnt start. HELP!

[Dr. evil]

i would do a fuel pressure test before anything.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inlin...spagenameZWDVW autozone has some too.

And if fuel pressure is fine and there is no spark then what?

my 94 doesnt have coded keys.

Finally, his keys havent suffered some trauma have they? They're coded keys after '92-'94 and you cant start the car without them, it'll happily turn over but wont even bother firing.

And if fuel pressure is fine and there is no spark then what?

no spark could be bad coils. before i would buy coils i would then check CPS. or coded keys

I see, there must be a safer way cant i just disconnect the connector and check it with a multimeter?

You can't check for spark using a multimeter, unless you want to destroy the multimeter.

And lets say there is no power to the coils what causes that?

A bad Crank Position Sensor, failed ECU, or an active immobiliser are typical culprits.

Thanks for the wealth of info, I will keep you guys posted on what happens. Thanks again.

8 coils are not going to go **** up at the same time, if it has fuel or spark then the crank position sensor is working
