Why wouldnt my minivan wont start

What is your question?

About a year or less i had parked my minivan because of a bad starter. Now i have put a new starter and it dont even do nothing not even clickin or trying to start. And then i put it direct from the starter to the battery with the key position on and then i got it to turn over but it didnt start look like it was a gas problemso i got staring fluid and try again and it work . My question is that my van has a theft lock or something like that my van has a factory alarm system B V ?
