Check battery connections closely, especially the ground connector, that they are clean and tight. Then follow the ground cable to the engine/frame, and make sure that connection is clean and tight.

SOURCE: intermittent starter problem, sometimes turns,

Many European cars have relays that trigger the starter,maybe yours is bad? New battery and new starter? Need to check battery connections to vehicle especially ground wire to engine block. Starter face and flywheel housing have to be clean for good ground connection.
When it won't start do you try key numerous times? Sometimes (rarely) bad keyswitch.

SOURCE: 2002 chevy silverado starts right

By what your stating, that it starts and dies every time, It seems to be fuel related. You need to perform a fuel pressure check. You will need a pressure tester, one that would at least be able to read pressure to a maximum of 150 lbs of pressure. Although you really only need about 50-60 pounds of pressure to maintain proper fuel injector operation. There is a test port located on the fuel rail where you would conect the pressure tester. The test port is usually located on the drivers side of the engine near the rear section coming up from the firewall. Unscrew the pressure port cap if its still there and connect your tester. But also keep in mind you may have fuel pressure of some sort in the rail so be careful. While the tester is screwed to the test port you want to cycle the ignition key on and read pressure, you may want to repeat this several times. You must have at least 50 pounds of pressure, if so it should start. If you are losing pressure while your maintaining a visual check on the tester it could also be a faulty pressure regulator/fuel pump or even a rubber hose connection inside the fuel tank that connects the fuel pump to the fuel line. If you have any questions Im here to help. Thanks for using FIXYA

If the starter turns over, it's doing it's job. Look toward the ignition or fuel system for solutions. That broken wire just may be the culprit. It takes spark, fuel, and air intake to run.

Hi. My 2008 Chevy 1500 Silverado has had a lot of problems. Now, I am experiencing it not starting out of the blue. I have taken it to my mechanic who says he cannot find anything wrong. What could...

You have to take it to a dealer because they have special GM tech 2 scanners...This will also show them everything about the truck.....Sometimes they have ECMandPCM Electronic control module and Powertrain control module UPDATES ).An update comes with the diagnostic service....I have worked for GM and also Chrysler and I have updated both vehicles ECM for different problems and after that they were perfect.....!....
Maybe you already go there ...I dont know...But if you took it to the dealer and they told you that something has to be wrong....But if it is just a stroke of bad luck like I have at times I guess it depends on how many miles are on it.......It looks good and probably kinda like new......
But try to have it updated....I know it should help...................If you cant start it it could only mean BATTERY/STARTER/CONNECTIONS/FUSE OR RELAY...I would start with the connections..
check starter connections also ...sometimes it is a loose small wire at the starter solenoid......and make sure all fuses are not blown.......................hope this helps..................Metalpoet

2 things come to mind, first check and clean all battery and starter connections. second, maybe you have something draining the battery. next time it rolls slow, put on a battery charger and see what happens. also, even though it is a new battery, it still could have a weak cell.
