Default NEON 01 WILL NOT START... PLZ HELP

ok so frankly i'm tired of working on the car and this is my last resort b4 i take it to a mechanic or radther shall i say tow it to a mechanic... anyways heres the story... went on deployment for two months... come back... car's dead... try to jump it but that wouldn't work... figure fine lets go change the battery its old anyways... so go buy a brand new battery and we attach the terminal (not tight jus testin to c if it worked) and bang car turned on fine and everything... sweet i think... so now we go and tighten down the teminals and all that good stuff then go to turn the car back on and nothing wants to come on... no clicking, no engine tryin to turn, nothing. radio and exterior and interior lights work fine by the way... so my room says hey maybe its the starter... so we take out the starter than take itsomewhere to get that checked and test proved the starter was fine... so my ghetto roommate decides lets jump the starter from the relay maybe that will work... did that and when we turned the key starter works but we go no spark... so now my roommate thinks that is the computer... any of you guys have any advice??? like i said this is my last resort before taking the car in... thx for the help in advance!

check ur belts for dry rot...was the car started every now and then? u'll probly need new gas, also check for animal nests in ur engine bay and chew marks on ur wires.... also follow this guide even though ur car may not being throwing a CEL light there could still be a code
