2004 aveo won't start

[thankful_ragamuffin]

While you are cranking the engine, have a helper pound on the fuel tank with a rubber mallet. The vibration will sometimes get a tired fuel pump to kick to life. The fact that the gauge is dead leads me to think that there is no power or ground to the fuel pump module. Check fuses and wiring for the pump. Around here, cars that sit often have wiring eaten by mice.

Thank all of you for your help. I have thought about the mouse thing, but was hoping there might be an easier fix. I will let you know what I find.
