Not so sure about the problem, sounds like it is intermittant (because it started when you replaced the battery...for a while anyway) It also sounds like a replacement battery was not the solution but merely a coincidence. There is no doubt that modern cars are extremely complex when it comes to ignition systems, but back to basics can sometimes help. In order to run, an engine needs fuel, spark and air. Sounds like you tested for fuel and spark. Try removing the air filter completely, then start looking for bad O2 sensors and the like. Also try to determine if the spark is a "good Spark" meaning the voltage to the plugs is sufficiant. You may need to consult a service manual for these values. Good luck, I hope this is helpful even if its somewhat vague.
