Check your battery connections to see if they're good and tight. If it doesn't wanna start, check and see if the fuel pump is running when you turn the key on.

battery connections were good ,fuel pump running , battery testes good.
Load test battery and make sure IT is good.
Engine cables installed FIRST, remaining lugs Largest to Smallest, finish with a Stainless Locknut (NO WING-NUTS).
Check ENGINE end of cables to make sure they are clean and tight.
Check CANNON-PLUG connector (clean male pins, spread ever so slightly with exacto knife, reconnect, and TIE-WRAP in place to prevent vibration/loosening).
See if problems persist.
