Why won't my car start?

What is your question?

I have an interesting problem that has me stumped. The car won't start with out a jump. The battery is new, the alternator tests good. The cables are not corroded. The fuses all seem to be good. I can usually start it once after it has sat for a while but if the engine is warm, it will not start. The engine does not overheat. There is no check engine light on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When it's warm , and won't start , which is the problem area? Starter won't crank , no fuel/flooded , or no spark? OR something else??

I replaced the spark plugs today. It did not change the problem. I am not sure how to check the fuel flow as it had been a long time since I have had to make the repairs myself on any of my vehicles. It sounds like a dead battery. There is no clicking like it would be the starter. It is like there is not enough power to fire everything up.
