Okay so thursday im pretty damn low on gas (light was on for awhile) but i was flying out friday morning so i decide to wait to fill up till i get home. So i got home yesterday, before trying to start the car i clean out the KN filter i get in start it up...and nothing when i turn the key the car doesnt even make a sound. I dont think its the battery cause all the stuff inside turns on (a/c stereo etc) could it be cause im to low on gas?

No. Has nothing to so with cranking.
Crank circuit includes the key switch, clutch/DTR interlock, PATS system and starter relay.
Identify your vehicle by year, engine, and tranny.

check the battery. the "inside stuff" only requires a few volts to turn on. you need a MINIMUM of 10.5 volts for the PCM to start to start the car.
just put a volt meter on it and see what you get. if its low trickle charge it and then try to start the car.

How old is the battery?

Your battery could be shot and not holding a charge.

put a voltmeter on the battery and see what it is. it should be about 12volts.
jump the car and while its running put a voltmeter on the battery. it should be 13-14.5 Volts.
