I have had my car parked for some time, but I have started from time to time. The last time I started it, it ran for a while and then shut off. It hasn't started since. I changed the battery, but it is still doing nothing. It's not clicking or anything. Is this my starter causing this?

Most likely it is the starter but to be sure we need to test the starter trigger wire for power when the key is in the crank position. This guide will help, and I have included the starter location and replacement instructions in case you need it.
