despite what the guy at the autoparts store said, its either the battery, or battery connections.

original battery?

Original battery is known to suck ass, so I'm guessing that's your problem. Easiest way to check is that when you start it you'll hear like a ticking noise coming from the battery meaning it's dead.

Also maybe your ECU could've randomly gone out.
