I left my lights on one day and my battery died. So I tried to jump it off and it didn't work. I then went and bought a new battery. It still didn't work. I decided to check the fuses because the radio wouldn't come on. I changed all of them and sure enough the radio came on, but it still wouldn't start. I changed the fuel pump relay, and it still wouldn't start. I checked the spark plug, it was good. I made sure I had gas in it, still nothing. I don't know what to do. What could it be? Please help!

Hi 08dragons, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
