Hi Legoland.
That would be great. I'd have to get a transport and tow it down there. I'm pretty certain in some sort of electrical issue, either around the fuse box or some melted wires that aren't delivering the correct signal. Are you familiar with the electrical system on the S? Do you have a phone number I could reach you on?

Thanks

Hi Spencer,

I ended up towing it to a shop, G-Man Automotive in Culver City. He diagnosed it and got it running. The Ignition Module was dead, I had tried with a new module but never heat sinked it to the fender so it didnt get grounded and thus didnt work. Also he said the white relay (i only spoke to him on the phone so not sure which relay he refers to) was also dead.
So now the car runs! Lesson learned, always pull and install Ingition Module with heat sink even if the old one might still be good (which it wasn't in this case).
