        I was joking. I not selling the car, unless it's enough where I could buy an Enzo...even then I'd think about it.....nah, probably not. Anyway, this is off topic.

        Car NOT for sale. Period.

          Well, returning to topic...

          See if you're getting fuel up front. If not, check relays and fuel pump. Easy as pie.

          Had a similar problem a couple of months ago. Changed the fuel pump, she started right up.

              You'll never find the relays looking on the fender well. On the 318is, they are behind the long black plastic cover on the firewall. Pull the clips on the bottom and pull out on the cover to remove it.

                Just tried starting it again, and it sputtered about twice, then just cranking.
                I turned it over again, sputtered once, then just cranking....
                turned it over again....just cranking....

                The FP relay appears to be working, I took the cover off can hear it/feel it clicking w/ accessory.

                I'm not sure if it's getting spark----

                        It was just a loose wire on the fuel pump.
