Car not starting but battery good

read this from Google: Your starter is what gets your car going: it "spins over" your engine. TAKE NOTE: if your engine "turns over", in other words makes the r---rrrr---rrrr sort of noise it normally makes when you turn the key all the way to "start", YOU DO NOT HAVE A STARTER PROBLEM. Some folks have towed a car to me and said they may have a bad starter because their car won't start. I get in the car, turn the key, and the engine proceeds to turn over just fine: it just doesn't start up and run. The ONLY thing the starter does is turn the engine over. In cars with manual transmissions you can turn the ignition switch on, roll down a hill, release the clutch in gear, and the engine will start just fine, even if the starter was removed from the car! (Top fuel drag racers don't have starters on their cars: they use an external starter that is held against the supercharger pulley then removed when the engine starts
Consider having the ignition system and the fuel delivery system checked. This usually requires special equipment...thus...a tow to a reliable repair facility would be suggested. Any recent repair history on this vehicle? What happened?
The alternator was the last thing replaced. Battery had no corrosion and is less than a year old. Starter was replaced 5 years ago...
What happens when you try a proper Jump Start?
car starts right up , will start up 2 or 3 times and then set for a few hours and then won't start
Make ...Model.....Year....4 Cylinder.......8 Cylinder......Mileage? Any warning lights on or flashing the the engine is running?
