Cranking Problems

[Precious*1Love]

Well, I have a problem with my Alero cranking at times. I have a 99 Alero V6. First time this happened i tired to crank it up and it wouldn't say nothing, so i got a boost off. Then i took it to Autozone and they told me it was a dead battery, so i got a new one. Then my charging system light start coming on and i was told it was the alternator, so i got a new. Now the other day i went to crank it up and it'll turn over but it want start. I had to sit there for a while and went to crank it up and it started right up. Would someone please help me. I'm a woman that knows a little about cars, but i don't know what could be causing this problem.

when was the last time you had a major tune up done? as in spark plugs, wires the works?

I have an 2001 alero. Just out of the blue March, 2005, I stared my car and it would not completely turn over. Come to find out I had to have the ignition key assembly replaced. They said it went into security mode and that is why it wouldn't completely turn over.
