Default cranks but doesnt start

ok heres the story... i have a 1994 acura integra gs-r, i havent driven it for about 4-5 months now ...i tryed to start it back up but the battery was dead so i just went out and got a new one figuring the alarm just drained the battery over the months. So i put in the new battery and it cranked but wouldn't start. i check the spark coming from the spark plug wire and there is a spark, and i replaced the spark plugs just a little before i stopped driving it, so they should be good. i was thinking maybe its a ceased fuel pump or something and no fuel is getting to the engine... any idea?

Don't you mean fuel pump? But yeah... turn the car to on and see if you can hear the fuel pump turning on. Does it crank everytime you try to start it or does it just click sometimes? If it just clicks it might be the starter going out. Give that a few taps and it might start up.

ok i checked the fuel pump its primiing so i went and pick up new wires and plug ... in the end found out it i just installed the wires in the wrong order somehow...
ok, so now it starts ... and drives fine,,, but once i turn off the car it wont start back up or it will with struggle and battery eventually dies after attempting to cranks over a few times... im guessing damaged or weak alternator which doesnt have the juice to charge the battery once its running?
