my car wouldnt start today. I had it jumped and the guy said my battery was gone. So i replaced it and it wouldnt start even after jumping the new battery. When we hit the fuse box it started up. I drove it to work and the car keeps fluttering and sort of jerking forward. It shut off twice once while i was still in traffic and once while attempting to back up. I let it sit and run for 45minutes and it keeps reving up high then going really low consistently while its parked. i dont know whats wrong can you please help me.
The first problem may have been a loose or dirty connection at or near the fuse box. Check all the battery connections at both ends.
The second problem sounds to me that the engine has to go through a "relearn" process. On some vehicles (don't know what your vehicle is) when the battery is disconnected the ECM (engine contol module) loses it's memory. It will run bad until it has gone through a couple of drive cycles.

If the starter makes no attempt to crank the engine and you did not disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery during the clutch job, maybe the battery drained from something left on while you had the truck apart (ignition left on, doors left open, etc).

If you changed the battery on a Saturn S-Series 201 and the car will crank over, but won't start, the security system needs reset. Do this by inserting the key and turning it halfway. Leave it this way for 10 minutes before trying to start the car.

You changed the battery in your 1991 acura legend Ls sedan and now it wont start and all it does is make clicking noises what do you do to fix this?
First check the cables going to the battery and where they connect to the battery and the body of the car and engine and to the starter if all of that is good then I would think that it may be the starter.
