1990 Toyota Corrolla Wont Start

I have a 1990 Toyota Corrola I was having trouble starting it up after I would drive it for the day then after it was sitting for a few hours or over night it would start again I thought it was the starter so I bought a rebuilt starter and intalled it but the car still would do the same thing this has been going on for about a month now the car will not start at all. Someone told be it could be the relay switch or could it be I need a new starter?

To clarify, if it cranks but won't start, the starter is doing its job.
If it cranks but won't start, you'll need to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem to proceed.
You can have someone check the fuel line for pressure and spark at the plugs.

SOURCE: My 99'saturn having trouble starting

You say that "it only has this starting issue in the morning after the car has sat all night".

So this means that during the day, if your running errands, it starts ok when you come out of the store etc, right??

PS do not buy an alternator yet..

They have either left a wire to the starter unhooked or they have blown a fuse or fuselink
