check to see if there is a remote solenoid

problem could be in the ignition switch. or did this do it before the engine replacement, check all wiring hook ups to make sure they are installed correctly.

When jumped off ,if it drags to start,have the starter checked,and if when jumping the car off,the starter turns the engine over real good,then the cables are most likely the problem,replace them.

what would you like to know ? if it is getting in to the oil or smoking and going low on antifreeze, don't drive it you could do a lot more damage,.Hope this helped, Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance,if this was helpful ,leave some detail, Thank You.

I suggest rechecking all your work, because if it started prior to the repair you may have missed something.

starter relay,ignition switch,park switch.need to use a volt meter and start at the starter,see if you have at least 12 volts.if there is have the battery tested.does your head lights come on?next no voltage, go to the fuse box under the hood and check for (2) 12 volt powers with the key on and a good ground.if ok replace the relay.next move the trans shifter to neutral with foot on brake and try and start if it starts you need park switch.if not next is the ign.switch to test,you will need to locate the starter wire and check for voltage when starting if none replace the ign.switch hope this helped.also the alternator has nothing to do with the cranking of the engine on this car.

you say nothing happens sort of need more specifics, does it attenpt to rotate the engine? does the starter click? are all of the wires in the correct spots on the starter?
Is there powerat the starter?
have you checked your fuses?
can you rotete the engine by hand?

probably a starter does it just click and turn over after several tries if defenitly starter

Maybe the starter is not notify to the engine.
