Help, Help. Quick Question regarding a problem

I posted this same problem a couple of weeks ago. Once again, when I turn over the ignition, I get nothing. Everything works, except the engine turning over. It even shows about 13 apms. This same thing happened before, but later in the day, it started. It's been several days and nothing. I tried to jump it just incase it needed a little more amps.

I have tried to unlock it from the door to reset the alarm/anti-theft mechanism, still nothing.

Please help with thoughts...

does it make any sounds at all when you turn the key? My car would not start all I heard was the starter clicking when I turned the ignition. I took the starter off and took it to O'rielly's. They benched checked it and yup it was bad.

Second, you said the engine was turning over. Was it turning at normal speeds like it does when it does start, or is it just barely turning? ]
Did you change the battery after the first time you posted? Did you check the grounds and the battery cables?
