This just happened with our car and it needed a new alternator. I hope yours is an easier fix!
Check all connections from the battery to the starter for both corrosion, tightness and broken wires .
SOURCE: why wont it Turn over!!!! all i hear is clicking
check resistance in the wires to the starter if battery is fully charged it should work fine, put a volt meter on the battery and see what the voltage is. from the positive on the battery to the positive on the starter.
If you lose any voltage between these 2 points replace the wire.same on the ground side. do this while the car is being cranked. there should be no voltage drop until after the starter.
many people account this kind of problem to the starter when in the first place it was a wiring issue in the beginning.

You need to explain to me what you mean by "fuel injectors engage". Fuel injectors have nothing to do with the starter engaging with the engine and turning it over. You need to take the car to a place that can load test the battery for you. An autoparts store usually can do that for you. Or, if car can not be moved, take the battery out of the car to have it tested. Start there, then we can move on to other possibilities.

When you installed the starter you may have inadvertently put the gears in a bind. Make sure the bendix meshes properly with the flywheel. The bendix is the small gear on the starter that slides out and connects with the flywheel when the ignition key is turned.

Hi, I recommend you swap out the starter relay in the relay box under the hood. You can borrow the A/C relay to see if that fixes the problem. If this doesn't work, try a jump start and get back to me with results.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6222268-engine_doesnt_crank_turn_over . These are generic instructions.

When attempting to crank it over do the interior lights dim ?
