About every 3-4 weeks, my Geo goes through a phase where it won't turnover and start. I have put a brand new battery in, replaced the starter and alternator. It doesn't even make a noise when I try to start it. But when soemone gives me a jump, it starts? Then after about 4 or 5 jumps, it will start up fine on it's own for about 3-4 weeks and then the trouble begins all over again.

Any suggestions?

Have the battery and alternator tested at any autoparts store for free.

Check all electrical connections to the battery and starter, make sure they are clean and tight, including the battery ground to the trans.
