I take it the battery cables and grounds are clean. If the starter was from Autozone or Advance I would not rule it out. I went through 2 of them before buying a Napa starter.

I think this car may have separate starter solenoid, check the cables and connections, when in a non start condition there are ways to bypass the solenoid, but if you do not hear a click when turning the key that is where I would look first.

If it has an automatic transmission, the problem might be with the park/neutral safety switch.
