My battery went dead. After disconnecting the old battery and installing the new one, car turns over but won't start. Car ran and started before when battery was jumped. What needs to be reset and how to?

Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one. To check for spark at the plugs, you can pull spark plug wire, use known good spark plug or spark tester in the boot. Ground metal part of tester to metal part of engine, engine cranking, watch for spark. Any applicable trouble codes?
