Why wont this thing start???

A while ago, I saw a red 951 on the roadside for sale and figured I would check it out... it was in pretty rough shape and I was about to leave, but I decided to inquire anyways. "It does not run" *I was disappointed* asked what he would take for it... "$1100" SOLD! Anyways, I have been fidgeting w/ it for some time now, and it just wont run! It has perf. compression but wont start.

it has
-No spark
-No injector fire
-Fuel DOES spirt from fuel rail when starting with fuel line off
-12 volts to both coil terminals
-12 volts to both injector term.

What I have done...
-switched DME relay w/ working one from my other 951
-replaced referecnce sensors and gapped
-replaced wires for sensors all of the way to the harness
-checked cont. on new wires
-jumped alarm system
and even tried my motronic out in car

still nothing! Any ideas?

Anyone interested in buying car or parts????

If you have tried a known good DME from your other 51 and it didn't work, I would start checking the continuity from the ref sensors back to the DME harness. I fought with my '83 44 with a similar issue, it takes some makeshift LONG leads for your meter, but at least you will be able to either detect a break in the harness somewhere, or eliminate it from the possible problems.

Good luck!

PM me the price or put it in here, I am interested. Sold mine a while back, so I need another one. Can't have too many P cars, right?

Check the Speed/Reference sensors?
