If the car is cranking, chances are it is not the car battery.

Is your fuel pump working?

Whenever my car didnt start it was always because of my battery that was drained. What is happening with your 55 seems to happen to a lot of 03's, mine thank god hasnt given me that problem. Do a search and you'll most probably find an answer

His car is turning though. I took this as it is cranking.

If the car is not cranking, dead battery.

That happened to me when my fuel pump died. Cranked all day long but never fired up. Check fuel pump relay and/or fuel pump.
