SOURCE: want start but you can hear the starter clicking ,

If your convinced your battery is good, this would point to a starter relay failure. On some models this is already incorporated into the starter assembly. On others you will have to go to the auto parts store and ask for it, as it is a seperate component. This issue smells like a weak battery though. Use jumper cables off a running vehicle and make a start attempt after 10 minutes. If it fires up you know a battery is what was getting you.

SOURCE: 93 LX 5.0 replaced battery, ran fine then would not start

well, it doesn't have to be the alternator itself, but it would be wise to check its leads and also the leads of the starter. 
Is your battery charged?? even if your car stereo runs fine, the battery still might be out of charge too much to turn the engine... 
What does happen when you put it on idle? Do the gauges start up normally? Does the CD play fine? All the dashboard lights light up as they should? If there's any weird behaviour, it's possible there's a short circuit somewhere... If it's OK, try to fire up the engine and watch the dashboard, all the gauges and lights(+the radio). Everything works as usual? if not you are likely to have a short circuit before your alternator, or maybe starter(not that common and if you hear a click it's likely that starter is OK)

MAKE SURE the battery is WELL charged! you could have drained it listening to some music in the car after killing the engine.

Wont start after running for a while. service lights work, radio, headlights but wont crank. just replaced starter, got new battery about a month ago. after 5-8 hours car starts with no problems.

Hot does make a difference. You say it won't start, but does it crank and not start, or not even crank? If cranks but will not start, any electrical part may fail as it heats, and when you shut it off the engine gets much hotter since coolant is no longer circulating. Thus, a marginal crank or cam sensor, or coil/ignition module may work while cold of while engine is running, but fail when you first turn car off.

New Battery/starter and still wont crank.

car wont crank or car wont start? I would say your battery cables are bad,, acid gets in from battery and erodes internal cable parts... need a Meter to check it out.. put the meter on battery while someone tries to start it, if the voltage drops from 13.5 to 10 then it is trying to turn over, I always have the new starters tester before I leave a store, they are remanufactured in Malaysa and they use old parts in most of them..

2001 Toyota Tacoma keeps stalling on start up.

Check the battery cables. I had the same issues with my 96 tacoma, The battery cable connection at the battery can be cranked down but still be loose. Hard to explain, doesn't make sense, but just check it out.

HELP with my problem to my Question and added details

A good hot battery shoulde do it. Have you had any problems with the security system? That's all that should keep it from starting now. Have you put a socket on the crank bolt to make sure the engine is not seized and turns freely?
Good luck.

I have a 1999 ford taurus se and two weeks ago it went dead took the battery to be charged and has been fine but has stopped working again i replaced the battery and still wont start any suggestions

Battery cables and connectors must be clean and tight.
Wires on starter must be clean and tight.
If there is no crank at all test neutral safety switch ,ignition switch and starter relay.

lastly test starter by fabricating a set of jumper wires and running it straight from battery and see what happens.

New battery car wont start

may just be a loose terminal. I had mine replaced and it took a few hours before it ran right again. something about the electronic modules take a little time to recharge.

1999 blazer wont start??

Your battery is either faulty or ther is a parasitic drain, have it checked out at parts house. With a good battery installed, spray some starter fluid into intake housing. If it starts, then dies, you have fuel pressure/delivery problems. Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key? Hope this helps.
