Problem starting

OK guys I dont usually make a thread about my problems but I cant figure this out.
My car will not get spark or fuel, this is after sitting for 3 days. I have looked at almost everything, then I removed the airbox and it cranked and started. Then I turned it off and it wont crank again.
My idiot lights are not turning on when i turn the key to ON, only the ebrake light, but I am getting beeping with the doors open and key in ignition.
I will be working on it all night, so please give me a hand on this. Thanks

I also noticed that when I turn the key to on the voltage is 12, then drops to about 9, something clicks and it goes to 12 again.

Define what *crank* means. You say it cranked and started, and now won't crank. Does this mean the starter won't engage, or what.

no it means the engine wont start, but the starter is engaging and spinning. I seem to have no fuel or spark, tried jumping the main relay and still nothing.
