    car cranks but won't start

    Hi all,

    I have a 97 328i.

    This morning, i needed to back out my car to let other car go, it started fine and no problems whatsoever.

    Then after several hours later, the car just won't start, it cranks fine. THe battery is working fine.

    Any suggestion on why this is happening?

    I tried to start the car with stepping on the gas, still it won't start.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Chris.

    Fuel Pump?

    I had mine replaced at ~130k miles.
