Just replaced the alternator and the battery terminals. When I turn the key there are just clicks. At first, I was able to start it by stepping on the gas. Now it won't start. After jump starting, it runs great. Headlights, radio and power windows work. Please help!

So have you replaced the battery or had it tested? Most parts stores can test the battery for you free of charge. However, the click no start is normally the battery, ignition switch, or the starter itself. Based on this, I would start with the battery and make sure that is okay. If it is, then you need measure voltage at the starter and if it is okay, then replace the starter.
