You will need to verify if the starter solenoid is getting power when you are attempting to crank it. I dont have a diagram, but the clutch switch may be the problem if you must depress the clutch to start the engine.

If you are saying that the vehicle will turn over only when jump started and nothing when not connected to another vehicle then I would check the earth connection from battery!
YOUR STARTER & SOLONOID, ONE UNIT, MUST BE BAD ! WHEN YOU TURN KEY TO START THE BATTERY SHOULD ENERGIZE THE SOLONOID WHICH INGAGES THE STARTER INTO THE FLYWHEEL AND CRANKS THE ENGINE TO START. IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, REPLACE THE UNIT !
What was the starter doing before you changed it?What was the initial problem?See if the engine will turn manually by turning the crankshaft or flywheel.
Go to the solonoid on the starter, Jump from large post to small post, (assuming you have a charged battery) starter will turn over motor. If it does not you have a bad starter. If it does check ign switch and wiring.
Sounds to me like you might have one of two problems, and one is an easy fix, while the other might require a mechanic.
Option 1: Check Your Cables. If you have a loose ground cable, then you might be able to tighten it and reestablish a good ground. Also, check the wiring to your starter and alternator.
Option 2: Check The Starter Solenoid. This one might require a mechanic. It sounds like your solenoid isn't getting enough juice, or it doesn't have enough capacity to fire it off without added current. If this is the case, get your solenoid checked.
It sounds like the wires from the battery to the starter solinoid are burned out, possibly even more of them to the main fuse box under the hood. You will have to start looking for the burned wires you can already smell and replace them. Starter and Battery area are a good place to start.
