we charged the battery all the way last night, you turn the key it trys to turn over but you crank it so long the battery drains. we tried jumping it but still wont fire. It seems like no spark or no gas ! only has 73,000 miles

First try re-charging the battery, then try spraying starter fluid if the air intake. If that won't work, get the best 'shade-tree' mechanic in your neighborhood to take a look. Good luck. I have a '98 Cav that's been sitting for 2 years, so I know how your feeling.

1- Fuel pump
2- Batery
3- Check the sparks and plugs
4- Chek the switch of the ignition (key and clutch pedal)
you should give more information like the "miles" on your car, the kind of noise that makes when you turn the key

"Won't start" is pretty vague. It could be hundreds of posibilities.
Dead battery, Low battery, bad ground wire to engine, bad power wire to starter, bad power wire to battery, bad connection at battery post or terminals, blown fuse, bad key switch, bad starter, bad fuel pump, bad injectors, out of gas, neutral safety switch, seized engine, broken connecting rod, no compression, no spark, bad oil pressure switch, broken timing belt, plugged fuel filter, bad starter solenoid, bad starter, broken rotor, cracked distributor cap, Anti-theft device, water in/on engine, out of gas, vacuum leak, bad gas, bad ignition coil, blown computer, ...
I could list 50 more things easiy...
When you turn the key, what happens? EXACTLY..

LEAVING A CAR SIT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME
IS ACTUALLY NOT THAT GOOD FOR VEHICLES.

Maybe your battery is dead?
