Maybe she's pissed you didn't put 6K into her...

Hokay. back on track...

you have power, you have DME relay, you have ref sensors, Fuel pressure is my guess. also, check for spark, just to be completely sure.

Ok.
And when i turn the key the sensors dont bounce right away.... it takes almost 2 seconds before the tach bounces.
Is that a bad sign?

Nope, mine will usually start before the tach starts bouncing.
If the tach is bouncing then the DME knows the engine is turning. This is a good sign.
Check out the electrical situation at the fuel injectors and at the coil. I don't know exactly what to look for there, but there are lots of people here that do

Mine was a bad coil. Not firing strong enough to start in cold weather.

Well.... i got in the car today to get my school books, and i decided to try it just for ****s..
1st try... started right up.... What the hell is this car doing to me?!
And when the fuel pump needs replacement, do people buy bosch? My dad is telling me to just buy any old pump and it will work. True?

Wouldn't a bad coil cause running problems too?

Could a leaky injector be the cause of this problem?
I did mention that high pitched sucking noise that comes out of the fuel rail area when I turn the car off.

On my 924S it gets going right away.

When the car won't start, do any of the spark plugs spark? Sorry if you already posted this... I might've missed it.
