Two weeks ago I just had my starter replaced, tune up, new fuel pump and fuel flush. I got the starter done because my car wouldn't turn over at all, lights on dashboard were still on so I knew it wasn't the battery, well today I tried to start it and once it clicked it instantly shut off. We tried to unhook battery and sit for a few and tried to restart again, nothing, help. My car has been nothing but problem after problem.

This sounds like a battery issue.

The fact that it would not turn over is a sign of a battery as well and just because the lights all came on doesn't mean the battery isn't drained.

We need to load test it using this guide to help with what that means:

If you can, take the battery out and take it to a parts store and they will test it for you.

Let us know what questions you have and what you find with the battery. Thanks
