when the car does not start, is it just slow cranking? I have experienced some cars not starting if the batter drops below 12v on cranking, if your new battery is not the correct cca, then you might need a better one. And i mean not start as in at 11.99 v on the meter the computer would shut off and cut fuel, even though the engine would crank perfectly fine until the battery dropped to around 10-10.5 volts.
