Car wont start!!! Just drove up to the local 7-11 to pick up some movies at the RED BOX.Turned off the car and got out. Looked at the movies, and got back into the car but it would not start!!!! It didnt even attempt to crank over??? WHAT THE HELL??? I just replaced the starter and the crank censer too. My air flow censer is bad and planned on replacing it in about a week! Im thinking spark plugs maybe?? Any other ideas? What could cause it to be fine 1 second and not the next??? IM PISSED!!!

Nope, wont be spark plugs or anything of that nature. Its something electrical like a sensor if it just happened spur of the moment like that.
SkullV is most likely right...

shake your positive battery cables going down to the starter and into the fuse box. Also pull the positive off when you get to your house and check for corrosion on the terminal.
The starter solenoid wire is right near the manifold and mine needed replaced about a month ago. I have only had one "non-start" since and it seems to be good right after i wiggle the cable going to the fuse box. I have no idea what the deal is.

If you disconect the Positve to clean it, ALWAYS disconect the Negative cable 1st.
Before you do that, put a volt meter across the terminals.
Positive to Negative; then, Positive to Engine; then, Positive to Chassis.
What did you get?
How old is the battery?
Does everything look good?
Now, do what 'Ted said', cause that sounds logical.

Im just thankful that its been very easy problems to date... Im not mechanically inclined but Im doing my best.. So far I have learned how to do my own brakes, Starter, but from looking at the alternator its going to be a pain in my side to get it out! Any tips of how to get it out? It looks like I would have to remove a lot of stuff just to get to it!

This means power is getting down to the solenoid, but the starter motor is not receiving power. A few things could cause this.
The disk in the solenoid is not transferring power to the starter motor or the there is an open circuit in the starter coils or an open circuit in between the solenoid terminal to starter motor terminal.
The 'altenator' is not part of the 'starting circuit'. It is part of the 'charging circuit'. A bad altenator will either cause and overcharging condition or a no charging condition, both will eventually kill your battery.
Since you recently replaced your starter, it is possible that one of the terminals was overtightend which led to this failure.
Good Luck
