Default STARTER GOING OUT OR ?????

OK SO THREE DAYS AGO MY CAR WOULDNT START. HASNT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST.
I GOT A JUMP AND STILL DIDNT HELP. JIGGLED SOME WIRES AND SOME TIME AFTER IT STARTED. ITS BEEN MESSING UP NOW EVERY TIME I TURN IT OFF.
THE WIERD THING IS THAT IT DOES DIFFERENT THINGS...

SOMETIMES ILL TRY TO START IT AND IT WILL DO NOTHING JUST LIGHTS COME ON.
SOMETIMES ILL TRY TO START IT AND IT WILL MAKE A RAPID CLICKING NOISE.

SOMETIMES ILL TRY TO START IT AND IT WILL TRY AND TURN OVER BUT WONT START.

I GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT WAS ORIGONALY RELOCATED TO THE HATCH BUT I MOVED IT BACK TO THE ENGINE BAY AND ALSO ADDED NEW POWER WIRES AND GROUND.
IT STARTED FINE FOR A COUPLE STARTS BUT THEN STARTED MESSING UP AGAIN.

NOW WHEN ITS RUNNING IT WORKS FINE AND DOESNT TRY TO DIE SO I DONT THINK IT WOULD BE THE ALTERNATOR. I NEED SOME HELP
ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS?????

First off, please turn your caps lock off.

Hmmm. Sounds like some funky wiring issues now that you mention you ran new power wires and moved the batter. The rapid clicking noise is what most starters do when your battery is too weak to actually make the starter turn. Now that you have a new battery, and assuming you're getting a charge back into it, you probably won't see that problem again. Since your problem sounds pretty intermitant, you sould go check your wiring and make sure your ground is really good.

well i got the new battery the second day that i was having this problem and it still has the problem.
im wondering if or what might drain my battery.
can the starter drain the power if its faulty..
cause like 30 minutes after i got the new battery it started acting up again.
so i know that it had to have had a charge unless somethings draining it..
