So could be a bad alt? A week ago I started losing power and battery light was flashing on freeway, headed straight to oreilly and replaced. Can't kill the battery in a week, so must be? Sorry kind of noob at this petty stuff Thanks to all for the help!

if it were the starter it was just whirl around and not catch. as was stated before you definately have a voltage problem. get your battery charged reinstall and start the car. then disconnect the cables and let it sit over night. then reconnect the cables and see if it starts.

or you could listen to your car...your battery light came on so replace your alternator.
