Default CAR WONT START PLEASE HELP

I currently have 2006 gt with some work done. The mods are a bigger cam, full exhaust, and pretty much the rest is all bolt ons. I was driving my car back home (car was running fine) when I got home i was locked out my house so the I went to my uncle which was like 10 mins away (still running fine) hung out there for a couple hours, so when I was on my way back home my girlfriend called and I needed to ask her somthing very important, so i pulled over in a mcdonalds and shut the car off, talked to her for 5 mins and tried to re-start the car and it wouldnt start, No turn over at all. O yea i floored the car a couple times right before this happend buth nothing major. Please Help my dads gonna kill me

might have been flooded, but if not, then
possibly the Throttle Position Sensor. i've
read that those can fail and a lot of the time
it's during a Wide Open Throttle event.

let us know the current status of the car,
when you get a chance.

I would check the battery. Mine is an 07 and it died on me already. I made a quick stop at the ATM and when I tried to start her back again, she would not turn over at all. Ford replaced the battery with zero out of pocket.

If no accessories (lights, interior lights, dinging from turning the ignition to "on"), then +1 to battery connections, then fuses. Next, reseat battery connections.
