Long but plase i need help.

1999 gs
intake

exhaust

Whats up everyone.

A couple weeks ago i get back from school park my car in my friends garage for a couple hours. When i come back and try to turn on the car is doesnt start, no noise of it trying to turn on no nothing.

We end up pushing it down to my house which is only like 3 houses down. My dad and i get the starter out and take it to autozone to let them test it. The starter was ok, but we thought it would be best if we got a new one so we did. We get back home and put it on but the car still doesnt start with no noise of attempting to start. Then out of nowhere i turn the key and it just starts up like nothing.

Today i tried turning the car on and it turned on but only for about 5 seconds then shut off. I tryed again and this time when it turned on i gave it alittle gas to keep it on but the car turned off again.

Now it wont turn on. All i hear is a clicking noise when i turn the key but nothing else.

Any ideas what i should check? what could couse this?
Thanks for the help!!

.....yeah that didnt work, that was the first thing we tried. I think that would be the first thing anyone would try if their car didnt start. Real smart reply.

Do you have an after market alarm? Mine did something similar after I disconnected the battery a few times.

Clean your battery terminals and then spray battery corrosion protector on.

Make your own. Go to the part store buy some heavy gauge wires and connectors...and make your own.
