Yes, i did get a new battery,, then i guess you can say it started working for a short while, then all of a sudden my car starting problem started happening again AFTER the new battery and now i just installed my new starter then it didnt even work again! but it does make a hissing sound like before i changed the starter! do you think it may be the alternator?

sounds like a bad alternator. not giving the battery a charge so it works for a little while when new and then stops working because its not getting a charge. thats where i would look next

dude sounds like you need a new alternator. u just killed your battery since the alternator is not charging it. Seems like your battery and original starter can still be good. My money is on the alternator, just buy one and change it out urself, very easy to do.
