Has it been raining a lot there? My guess is it's a crank position sensor (two them on the car). If the sensor fails, it won't start, but it will try to turn over. The 03s had a recall on this sensor. It's a very easy fix; however it looks like the car will need to flatbedded to the dealership.

it sounds dumb but it happened to me one night i came home with a buddy drunk and he wanted to hear the sound of my exhaust on my mustang. I eneded up changing the plugs that i thought were going bad because it would start but feel like it was running on 4 cylinders. we realized it at about 4am that it was out of gas.

you know what? that happened to me a while ago, I have the automatic start on my G with the Viper 790XV and the ring that is housed around the ignition to allow for remote start was not in good contact. It took me a day to figure it out. RX
