JourneymanDoes it crank? Do you have spark? Do you have fuel presure? Do you have compression? One of these questions will be answered with a no, at that point I can give you more info/questions.

RookieYes it does crank, spark, and have fuel pressure. I do not know what compression means on the car. Let me know.

JourneymanWe would recommend checking your charging system. Is the alternator and starter working properly? If not, they could have caused your old battery to die, thus prompting you to replace it with a new one. Our diagnostics is essentially free - we credit the charge toward your repair.
