Replaced VCG..Now it won't start
2007 530i...just put everything back together now it won't start. I pressed the start but and waited more than 30 seconds (repeated 3 or 4 times) to reset the valvetronic motor. Then tried to start it. It turns over but won't start. Attempted about four or five times.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can check now? I'm not seeing any wires that aren't connected. In addition to replacing the VCG, I also replaced the spark plugs and the starter is new as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd re-check all your connections, but I think your valvetronic motor isn't resetting correctly.
Can you upload a video of it cranking?

I didn't disconnect the fuel line.
Where do you want my phone when it's videoing...from under the hood or driver's seat?
