Yeah. Initially had a Crank / No Start issue as soon as I swapped my SAP. Plugging both the SAP Pump and Sensor didn't work either. At that point I figured the issue may be fuel delivery or an EWS problem as suggested by another poster. I didn't have a fuel pressure tester at the time which is I why went the EWS route for troubleshooting. When fitting the fuel rail cover I made sure not to pinch the o2 sensor wires that were mounted to their clips. Other than that I'm not sure what I could've possibly pinched.

Since trying to resync the EWS rolling codes in INPA was when that 209 error came up, and now I'm with a No Crank / No Start issue. FWIW, I fired up BMW Scanner 1.4 also and it pulled up the same codes. One thing I did notice next to the error code in BMW Scanner was the "EWS Signal is wrong, EWS Code implausible" Description. Even though the battery is fully charged, i'm thinking it's low voltage, parasitic draw, or my key/transponder isn't talking to the EWS somehow. Any ideas?
