It's time for some serious troubleshooting. You either need to get this car to a competent mechanic, or get a Factory Service Manual and learn to do your own work.
Start by fully charging the battery again. Get yourself a voltmeter. Measure the voltage at the battery. Fully charged, it should read at least 12.6 volts DC.
If the car won't start with a charged battery, begin the troubleshooting process. Measure system voltage while attempting to crank. If it falls below around 10 volts, either the battery won't take a full charge, or there's a high resistance somewhere in the system. This can be chased down with a voltmeter, but you need to have a decent understanding of basic electricity and/or a troubleshooting guide in a service manual to sniff out such a problem.
Be well,

Seeking anyone?s help in my dilemma.
A few months ago my 87 vettte would not start. I was able to jump start it and take it to Sears to have the battery replaced. I was able to start it and drive it back to work. When I went to start it again it was dead. I had it towed home, when the flat bed set it on the driveway it started again. Assuming it was the remote starter I removed the remote starter and replaced the starter motor since it wasn?t immediately disengaging after starting.
While driving on the highway it began loosing power, smoking and it stalled. Again it was towed home, and started again after it was released from the flat bed. The following day it started by stalled while idling. I replaced the ignition pick up coil and module, and fully charged the batter overnight. The next morning it did start but after idling for approx 8-10 mins it stalled again and to this day it has not started again.
I had the batter replaced but it will not start, the interior lights do not illuminate, the horn doesn?t sound, it has no signs of acknowledging electricity from the battery.
Can anyone PLEASE offer some suggestions to repair my major DILEMA?
