Its been a long time since you ask but check the main relay. It engages the starter and the fuel pump while cranking and after ignition a seperate fuel pump relay takes over. I had a car that did the same thing.

Wont turn over the battery is fully charge with new battery the altinater is good. I think it is the starter ?

It could be the starter or the starter solenoid or even the starter relay. For steps in test each of these I recommend you get the Haynes repair manual on your vehicle.

A new altinater wont charge battery

More than likely a bad battery,if you take it to a good parts store they will test it for you,bad battery cables can cause this also.

My 1997 mazda 626 lx isnt charging right it wont start after its shut off its worse at night when I need the head lights

Sounds like your altinater is going out. Take your car to auto zone or one of those places. They can check it for you. Once your altinater goes out you wont be driving any where cause thats what keeps your battery charged and keeps your car running. Do that today!

Died out like altinater was gone took altinater out got tested and the altinater is fine and battery is only 3 years old

I had a problem similar to that with another car. It turned out to be the ground wire. Check your ground or replace it. A good way to identify this because I've seen this problem on multiple cars is if you turn the key the interior lights will all turn on just fine on the dash but when you turn the key nothing happens. If that is the case then your problem is a bad ground. Hope this helps. Good Luck
