First it cranked but not enough and when i tried to jump it now all tha power shut off..im new at trying to fix this and i have no idea what to do now..well besides take it to mechanic but i wanna try to fix it myself
Assuming there is fuel getting to the engine(no gas...check filter[should be along frame under driver's seat], pump pressure and kill switch[should be under dash near heater duct]) and of course, there is spark(replace coil pack if wires check good), I would check the the battery. Just because it seems to have a charge it may be strong enough to crank the starter under load. This is also assuming that the engine cranks...the solenoid is bad if the engine only cranks when the solenoid is shorted to make a complete circuit. You didn't say if it was manual or automatic, manual requires the clutch to be held down to start engine. Hope that helps
Start by making sure batery posts are clean inside and out. Try a diferent battery.
Did the jumper cables get hooked up backwards ?
Add coments to your post , and if these don't work , myself , or someone else will tell you how to test your starter and solenoid.
No , not fuel pump.

Check the main fuse in the box near the battery.
