I just replaced the starter because it would not start. It made the sound like it was going to but just wouldnt catch. Since changing the starter it makes no noise at all like the battery is dead but the battery has spark? What am I missing? Could it be a sensor? Ignition coil was changed about 12 months ago. I cant get it anywhere to be tested without an expensive tow. Please help

Hello, Have you tried using a jump-box? Some of the national brand autostores will make house-calls. I don't know what they charge, you can call and ask? Maybe you just need a boost? If the battery is down, you need to take it off and have it recharged.
I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge, around 12.6 volts. You need to be sure, the battery connections are clean and tight on both ends.

If the starter won't even crank, I'd test the starter relay circuits, the relay is in the power distribution center under the hood.
