It turned out to be a wire harness that was not plugged in correctly, that the previous owner had messed up! Thanks guys! Edited by 240classic, Jan 18 2010, 07:26 PM.

These motors are bad about breaking the crank gear and it lets the timing float. Chris, Mike and I were fixing a b230 and lined the belt up probably 4 teeth off and it would almost run. We didn't realize our mistake until later.

SHHHHH!!!

At times he will look at stuff "away" from work. If you get the point that you need help that badly (it sounds like you are) I'll talk to him and see what it would cost to get him to take a look. Will you be coming to our Christmas meet?

We didn't realize our mistake until later. +1...Timing. Pull the oil cap and have someone crank the car. If the cam shaft isn't turning, the belt has broken. The other overlooked item is the FI fuse near the battery. If it craps out, you have a dead car. You're lucky being in McKinney...VVPETE lives in Prosper, not too far away. He's a wealth of information.

Unplug the AMM and see if it starts. A bad in-tank pump wouldn't cause this unless the tank is less than 1/2 full but I have a tool if you need to borrow one. Also if you have fuel at the fuel rail, probably not. The FI fuse on your car is in the fuse panel. Try spinning all the fuses to work off corrosion. Pretty common issue, I do it every 6 mos. Is there any codes on the ecu/icu? Are the plugs fouled/wet right after cranking? As mentioned, I am close by in Prosper give me a call 972-347-6101 and I'll see if I can stop by to take a look.
