Now, if that doesn't work either, pull out a spark plug and lay it on top of the engine and crank it. You should see a spark.

If you DONT, it's possible you have a flaky crankshaft or cam position sensor, which can also act up when they get hot.

You can check the ports on those for continuity with an ohm-meter.

Your original post points to the fuel pump though, since you didn't hear the buzzing upon trying to start it again. Of course the fuel pump could just be dying too. Usually they work or they don't though, but I have seen them work intermittently.
