    My E46 cranks wont start

    My 2003 E46 325i is straight piped i have
    been driving it for over 1 year never took her
    out in the snow but i did it once last week and
    started misfiring and when i checked it said
    cylinder 4 misfire and i have changed all the
    spark plugs and.checked all the coils they are
    working any one have any idea what that
    could be now its just cranking wont start at
    all. I have cleared all the codes when i saw the misfiring codes i dont know if that would make a any difference it was after that it wont start.

    I recommend starting by checking fuel pressure. There is a schrader valve (like a tire valve) on the fuel rail, under the plastic cover. You can rent or borrow a fuel pressure gauge from Autozone or similar, if they are open near you. (I don't know where "Barrie" is).
