Take your battery to the Auto Parts Start and have them test it. Many times running your car battery with a bad alternator can not only burn up your battery, it can also burn up your regulator. Not familiar with this year of cressida, is the regulator a separate unit on either the firewall or mounted on the fender-well? Is was about this time when most Toyo's had their Regulators built into the Alternators. Was your alternator a new alternator, or a rebuilt one? Was the regulator also rebuilt?
You can kill your battery by driving around with no alternator recharging it. You drain it DEAD and it will no longer accept a charge, and you need it to take a charge so can start the engine the next time you want to go to Wal-Mart.
Check that you wired it back in correctly

Thank you but the car is wired correctly..When you turn the key, the check engine light should show until the car starts..there is no check engine light..last night I again tried to start the car and alas,,the check engine light was on..the car started and ran but could not hold on for very long..after starting this time, the check engine light refuses to come on again..I tried to reset the EFI fuse but this did not work. Sooooooo the car is still stuck and will not trun maintain a running engine.
