I had the engine replaced about a year ago. I just bought a new battery about 2 weeks ago.

Everytime I go to start the car it has trouble, this started happening about a month ago, so I replaced the battery. The problem went away until last week when it didn't want to start. I kept trying and trying and after an hour it finially started after that it would start right up. Then again last night it wouldn't start. I attempted to jump it thinking it was the battery and now it won't even turn over...there is also a 'burnt plastic' smell now.

Any information will help

Thank you

now it won't even turn over, If you meant the engine don't crank over when you turn key to cranking position-If so could be one of the following the starter, starter relay,transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
