So I replaced the battery about 2 to 3 weeks ago because it left me stranded at a shopping center, yesterday as I was trying to crank it on it seemed to have a hard time and have no clue whether it is the alternator or if its having trouble crank on die to fuel pump? It sounded like it was trying to crank on (starting) but did not catch that spark...... eventually it did on the 3d try but It never done this before and need to figure it out before it ties to mess something else up ( lol or leaves me stranded again)
I guess my question is what are the car symptoms/signs of it being the alternator that is being the problem v.s fuel pump? Or its it something that has nothing to do with that???

when you crank it over does it crank slowly or normal ,when you get it started does it run alright ,if it does then its probably not your alternator but if it cranks slowly try boosting it and if it cranks normal and still hard to start try turning your key on and off 3or4 times and then try to start it if it starts fine after doing this it could be your fuel pump I would also check your fuel pressure and for spark while cranking
