Default Car started w/ Jump. Replaced Battery, won't start?

Car sit for a few days, and I went to go put gas in it, and it wouldn't start.

Had a friend jump me, she started right up. Drove to get gas, came home. This was in the evening.In the morning at about 8 it wouldn't start again. I put the charger on it, waited until 11 ( slow charger ), it had a decent charge so I started her up ( sounded good ) , took her up the road a friend ran a load test.

Test read: "Replace Battery".

Replaced battery.

Car will not start at all. Won't even make a noise when I turn the key. Help?

Are the battery cables on the terminals tightly? Is the ground cable in the battery box still tightly attached to the chassis?

The car has power with the new battery. It just won't start. Won't even click. Not a sound. Headlights work. Everything is working with the new battery, other than it won't start. The issue before I replaced the battery was clearly only the battery, though. Which I have no idea whats going on.

So you have good battery power now and no start. right? If so I would say it is EWS related and will work through this will you.

Meh, I wouldn't consider it "fixed" just yet. Sounds like maybe your cam or crank position sensor might be gunked up or the wires going to them may have became brittle. Keep your fingers crossed, but don't be surprised if the problem reappears
