Iv reverted back to the standard ECU but still had the blue injectors in.

As the original injectors were failing.

But even when I went back the standard ECU and standard maf housing. The car will not fire up

I also bought an 850 T5 and kinda regret it.

Have you checked the boost hose going to the idle air control value, the one going directly into the throttle body housing? (follow throttle cable)

Mine just this week started smoking like a bitch, found that pipe that has a small pipe coming off it was split, replaced it but the car wouldn't start for ages. I replaced the spark plugs and left the cylinders open for a while to vent off all the excess fuel and now its back up and running again.

Hope this helps, don't blame you going back to the M3. I'm definitely keeping my 940 for life now.

And as far as other work I've carried out on this ****box was;

Clean the idle control valve
Replace the boost hoses

What brand/colour boost hoses? If you break I might be tempted by those, and by the MAF.

Also make sure to include Sleeper in the title, that immediately takes about a grand off the price
