Stopped at the store... came back out and it wouldnt crank.... finally when it caught, it seems to bog out and had a horrible screeching noise kinda like a belt but sounded like it was coming from the inside of engine like metal... yes it had oil in it...now it wont crank at all... will turn over but not crank
To clarify, if the engine cranks or turns over but won't start, look for a stuck pulley on the engine. You may be hearing the belt slipping on that pulley. Take the belt off and try turning each pulley - also try starting the engine with the belt off.

Sounds like you need an internal inspection of the engine. Valves, lifters, rods. pistons and rings etc. One of the worst things for cars is to let them sit for years.
SOURCE: screech in engine. after serpentine belt stops
Check if screeching is related to engine vacuum.
Briefly remove (or loosen off) the oil filler cap - if noise immediately stops high crankcase vacuum is the cause. Check / replace PCV valve to fix.
If above is not the cause, listen with a short length of hosepipe to try and narrow down noise source.
Silicon lube spray or pencil lead graphite on a selected belt should cause sound change if it's caused by that belt.
SOURCE: knocking noise coming from belt area. when belt
It is very common for the harmonic balancer on these to fail and it sounds like an engine knock. It almost stops when you remove the belt. With belt removed, try to turn harmonic balancer, if it turn back and forth, it is bad. You need to replace it.
SOURCE: Oil level low light comes on. When I turn
some cars with oil level warning light on, it doesn't mean that its only reading the engine oil level is low, sometime the transmission fuid too. Did you check your transmission fluid if it is ok or not? try to check and let us know, ok.

usually they will not throw a code, check to see if the car is getting spark when trying to start, if not just replace crank sensor and should be fine.
