It won't start without a jump. Once jumped it runs, but when I shut it off it struggles once to start back up again and won't start after that. Battery was replaced, cap and rotor and wires and plugs are all new, and the last thing I tried was replacing the alternator. It still has the same issue after all this, and I need help with where to go from here please. Maybe the starter?

At that age the battery cable ends are probably junk. You need to peel back the covers to really see how they are,

I put in a brand new battery last fall. Didn't drive it much at all between then and now. I just replaced the alternator 3 days ago. I'm getting the battery charged and tested today to see if that's the issue. As far as where to go if the battery is fine, I was going to test the starter and maybe replace the relay switch.

Stop assuming that you have a good battery and have it tested.

Battery fully charged solved the problem, that and not relying on the gas gauge to be accurate haha. I appreciate the responses, thank you
