1996 Ford Probe GT, Won't Start After Sitting

The car runs great but when I let it sit overnight or for over 8 hours it turns over and sounds like it has spark but will not start. If I put it on a downhill, or jumpstart it will run fine all day until I let it sit for over 8 hours again and then it won't start up unless I jump it.

Take it to autozone, they will test the charging system for free, sounds like a parasitic electrical drain...short someplace!
