And in answer to your other question, I did not do anything with timing. But the fuel pump does do the run thing...although if I turn the key and then don't start and then turn the key again, it doesn't pump. I noticed this because I was trying to prime the fuel lines.

If the car ran before taking apart and you reinstalled the same flywheel and didn't remove the Crankshaft position sensor odds are pretty good it's still good .Putting a new one in has been known to induce adjustment requirements .

OK thanks. After I verify the X59 (large main wiring connections) are correct, I will do this procedure.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I did three things and I'm not sure what made the difference but it started. Now I can proceed with getting the Tiptronic oil topped off.
#1 Did the color match on the X59 connectors. Found like colored wires on each side of the connection to verify each connection was rotated to the correct position.
#2 Went back and re-did the e-gas calibration procedure identified by Ahsai. The first time I did it, I had actually removed and inserted the key before doing the second part of that step where you turn on the key for 10 seconds. This time around, I left the key in the ignition and then did the 10 seconds. I figured the 10 second period was kind of like hitting save on your computer and I may "lost my work" the first time I did it.
#3 Reseated the wiring connection to the throttle housing

I figured the X59 connectors must have something in the configuration to allow them to only fit together correctly since this is the standard MO throughout the rest of the electrical on the car, and I had reseated the throttle body wire about 3-4 times already. If I had thought anything would make a difference it was the e-gas recalibration since my procedure may have been wrong the first time.

Would you happen to know approximately how much tiptronic fluid I would need to put in for a completely drained transmission? It was a rebuild so it was completely empty to start out. I've put in two gallons (7.56 liters) so far. I just kind of want to make sure I am in the ballpark for capacity before I go buy more fluid.
