  take the battery to auto zone for test, it's free, clean the wires terminal.. if the car start up and them stall the alternator may be the problem..

  First off if the engine is turning over (spinning) the battery is fine. If you just hear a click that's the starter enguaging the fly wheel or flex plate but not turning the engine. This could be a weak battery or a bad sterter or a bad connection at the battery, starter or engine ground. If the engine turns over real fast and does not make a puffing sound like it's trying to start you could have a broken timing belt or the timing has jumped. Also you need to have the fuel and spark checked no fuel pressure or spark will cause a no start condition. Is or has the check engine light been on? A bad crenk shaft sensor will also cause the enging not to start.
