Unhappy Need Help 04 8 wont start!!

Yesterday my fiance moved my car to get hers out.. Later that day about 7 hours later I start it up and it just turns over.. I know I had an o/2 sensor that was either hanging up or was out.. Code said System to lean.. I had a new clutch put in it about a month ago and thats when the check engine light came on.. I had it scanned and thats when the codes came up for O/2 sensor.. The car ran fine with the light on.. Now today I cannot get it to start.. All it does it turn over.. My battery light is on now and it sounds like the battery is weak.. I looked at the battery and seems that there is some corrosion on the post.. If anyone could give me any help it would be great b4 I get it towed in..

Uh I believe if you search you would find everything you need....it sounds like ur wife probably flooded it from shutting it off while it's still cold....search DEflood procedure or look in ur owners manual and it will explain how to get it started

For the battery it's time to charge it or if it's old replace it!

You were right.. I went out and unplugged the "Circut" Relay.. Turn it over about 10 times untill it acted like it was going to start.. Plugged the Relay back in and the car fired right up.. Smoked for a good 20 minutes but all seems well.. Thanks for all the insight...
