The new starter could be bad. I assume it's a reman? Sometimes, they're iffy.

You could have a bad (intermittent) starter relay. You could have a bad ignition switch. There could be a problem in the wiring.

Assuming you inspected the wiring when you put the starter in, I'd focus on the starter relay. But, to be thorough, you might pull the starter _and_ battery and get them both tested at the parts store.

Agree with Doug here. Have seen bad new starters a few times, rare even with remanufactured. Usually at least get click click or slow roll if you are getting power to the starter. Would be sure to check everything before pulling the new starter back off though. If you have a meter and some alligator clips you could check your voltage at your battery, then connect to your terminals at the starter with clips and bump the ignition switch. You should get +-12 volts to the starter. If you have good voltage at the battery but not the starter, then could probably rule out the starter and look closer at the relay and switch. If you are getting good voltage to the starter then pull it and take it back.
