I have a 1996 Dodge Intrepid with a 3.5 motor. Battery, alternator, radiator, and spark plugs have been replaced since October of this year. A few weeks ago the car refused to start and found out the starter was bad. I replaced the starter a few days ago but the car still refuses to start. Please help!

If the starter is working, check to see if you have spark and fuel to the engine. If the starter isn't working, have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check if there is power to the smaller wire on the starter. If there is power, the starter sounds bad (even though it is new). If there is no power, check the starter relay.
