Car people: my car wont start, I need help

You need another transmission. You probably only have one. Go to the shop and tell them that you want to put two in your car.

check your sparks too, could be your fuel pump also.

really what you should do is get one of your mechanically inclined friends to come troubleshoot your car, because no offense but I have a hard time believing that you know what a cresent wrench is.

i worked on my car once before. a simple 4 hour job took me about 3 weeks to accomplish. i was successful but it sucked having to take everything apart. it was very stressful.

alternator
starter and battery appear to be fine

This sounds like the answer.

So, last night it wouldnt start.

But, I jumped it, and all of a sudden it did start. Could it be just the battery possibly?

the strange thing is, i bet if i had waited a day i could have started it.

Here is the answer.

Again.

Stop dicking around bro and get it fixed or it is going to break down on you at the most inconvenient time.

i am a service manager for a garage so i can help you out, clean the battery terminals and replace the starter/solenoid (they come together on most cars) and your prob will be fixed, good luck.
