It used to start fine but I was using it to jump my other car real quick and it ran out of gas, so I tried starting it a couple more times and it kept stalling. I went and got gas for it now it just keeps turning over until the battery dies.

Are you mashing the gas pedal when you try to crank it if so you may be flooding it.

Try and buy some starter spray or carb cleaner and take the air intake hose off that is connected to the injector housing spray some of these items in the injector through the air intake. IF this does not work check your spark plugs and your ((((((fuel pump))))))to see if its pulling fuel up to the engine

Yea I was told to use that spray by two different people and they both said to spray it in two different spots so I just spray it where the injectors are?Ok. And also I was told to keep pumping the gas to get gas up there but I guess I wont do that anymore

Yea that will work too just keep trying. And say you cannot hear the fuel pump at all?

If I was you id take it to a good mechanic because if you cannot hear your fuel pump you may have burned it out
