Easiest thing to check 1st is your fuses, under the steering column and under the hood.

Actually, given the symtoms described, the easiest thing to check is the battery terminals. Make sure they're clean and tight.

i looked for the fuses under the steering column and the only one i saw that related was ENGINE and it was fine. i looked for for clutch plug pieces and i couldn't find any. my battery terminals looked bad so i cleaned them off and still wont start.

anymore ideas?

can u ensure that the battery is actually charged? Also, when you tried cranking the car, for like few seconds, and touch the terminals on the battery. If you feel that it's hot, that means the battery is trying really hard with alot of resistances. Make sure your battery have sufficient voltage/amperage to start the car... Go with basic diagnostic first. Fuel, Spark/timing, and Air.
