I've had this problem. It will work itself out given time. It recurrs occasionally for me.
A little advice...
Just dont leave the tap open a fraction by accident and then go to a movie. Otherwise you come back to your apartment flooded with 15 gallons of beer!

I actually got my security deposit back! Worked my ass off for that.

You sure its the Co2 and not the beer line itself being clogged? Have you cleaned the beer line regularly?

Not clogged, cleaned them both out, its flowing from the keg to the tap. The air valves/ maybe be a little messed up. Not sure. Any advice? Im getting no pressure what so ever, i cant figure it out

I don't. But it sounds like the next logical conclusion. The system is fairly simple. A co2 tank with on/off value, hose to regulator, regulator, hose to keg coupling, keg coupling, beer.

The coupler could also be bad. I'd disconnect the coupler and turn on the air. If it comes out freely, then you know it's good to that point. If not, then it's probably the regulator, if it's not a hose somewhere. You'll just have to trial and error your way to the solution.

But be careful - co2 is under pressure and can kill you. Work in a well ventilated area and make sure you have a way to quickly shut off the co2.

i DIDNT BUY the regulator.........My neighbor thinks that the keg itself may be frozen so Im gonna take it out and turn the kegerator off and deice it, theres ice formed on the back wall so its prolly to damn cold

Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water.
