Talking Thanks TLW

The problem is corrected the battery cable was still loose even though the car would crank. Now I going to enjoy the Soprano's.

Yeah, when I first bought my car I went to crank it about three days later and nothing. I was sitting there like WTF. The first thing I checked was the battery cable and sure enough it was loose. So I grabbed a socket and tightened and no problems since.
