Default car won't start/fire

my wifes 2004 mustang, less than 18,000 miles, wont start. All the fuses are good, battery is fine, the starter seems like it is trying but the car never fires. I drove it to a medical center and when we got back to it an hour later it would not start. I had to call AAA for a tow home. Please let us know if you have had a similar problem or an idea for a solution. Thanks CS Maring

well if its turning over you dont have any battery or starter problems. i have an 04 gt, and sometimes mine turns over for probably 4 seconds before it starts. the reason mine does it is because i need a tune up. try changing the spark plugs and plug wires. and your problem will probably be fixed.

Did you mess with the car at all before? AndI thought the starter would turn over but not enough power to start if the magnets were shot. Try smacking the starter a few times with a hammer.
