Default Ignition Problem

I recently got my starter motor replaced and the battery is less than a year old, the alternator seems good since the battery retains its charge..... got the timing belt changed a few months ago also...so what else could be the problem?

Its a 99 Civic Ex with 105K miles, manual transmission.... so least I can start it on a roll

Thanks

It was a battery terminal connection problem... the terminals were switched out because the old ones were thin and corroded but the negative cable isnt as wide as the hole for the terminal.... technician showed me a trick to flip the top piece to get the cable snug
