    HELP MY E90 won’t start

    I’m gonna explain Wht happened, I drove to my friends house. 6 hrs later I get in to go home and everything seemed fine lights on dash came on I push the clutch peddle and nothing not a sound. Couldn’t figure it out so had I towed home. So I started to tear it apart to get to the starter. Took it to get tested and it was bad. So while I’m in the motor decided to do my valve cover gasket and new valve cover because mine cracked. While this is going on for off n on 3 weeks battery died so it was sitting for a moth with no battery. Put the parts back in along with intake manifold gaskets . So now I go to start it and it’s cranking but won’t turn over. I don’t get it
    ALSO THESE CODES POPED UP:
    EKPS- fuel pump control
    FRM2- footwell module 2
    CAN- communication analysis
    JBE2- junction box electronics
    INSTR- instrument cluster
    IHKA- integrated automatic heat/air conditioning
    so I’m pretty much stuck with no clue in Wht to do pls help with any advice. Thanks

    The fuel pump code would cause a no start, shoot a little starting fluid in the air intake while cranking if it starts momentarily, the pump or a fuse/relay is kaput., PS,"cranking" is turning over in our jargon, starting is different.

    Are those fault codes present or not? If not they may be artifacts of the low battery condition. Clear faults and see what comes back up.
