It cranks well but it just won't turn over and start

I'd check the grounds for sure. The mix of metals some designer decided to put a steel bolt thru is causing galvanic corrosion. You could take a jumper cable and run it from the negative on the battery and to a good ground on the engine out of the way of the fan and accessories. Then give her a crank and see what happens. Electricity is funny that way. Mine did the same thing, sans the dying on its own.
I always say that people, electricity and water have the same qualities: They choose the path of least resistance.

75 days and I got it fixed!
What I did was: The connnection to the crankshaft sensor was exposed and touching each other and had some oil on it. I put my finger to seperate the wire and I taped them up so that they wouldn't be touching each other. Once I did that I connected the battery and tried to start the car.
I don't understand why this little problem did'nt allow me to start my car but it did.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions just let me know. I'm a rookie when it comes to cars and I'm not sure if this makes sense. I'll send pictures of what I did if that will help you out, just ask for them and I'll send them when I get a chance.
