I put a new alternator on the car, had the front end jacked up. Started the car after the alternator installed to see if alternator light went out. The alternator working find and took car off jacks 24 hours later car will not crank. It will turn over but will not start. Put new fuel filter on car, fuel pump runs (audio), used OBD II on car no codes come back. Car will not start all relays appear good, ignition coil has good resistance.

Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine. Did you check fuel pressure?

Let me know.

I recommend checking fuel pump pressure. You may have fuel but if the pressure is too low, it will cause problems. Here is a how to for checking:

You will need a fuel pressre gauge. Most parts stores will lend or rent them.

Let me know what you find.
