I have a 2001 Saturn SL2, I had a bad battery and I got a new one a week ago, the car was starting all normal since. Just hours ago I drove for about 5 minutes then parked again, when I tried to turn on the car, it didn't start. When I turn the key it shows all the light and the beeping which mean the battery is perfect, but there is no engine, no start at all.

Hi alialusi and welcome to 2carpros

Lets do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem then report back

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Good Luck
