98 Explorer will not start if not driven for a few days

1998 Explorer XLT 4x4 SOHC

I have replaced the battery and still have a problem with my explorer not starting if it has not been driven for a few days. The vehicle is stock except for the remote starter that is installed.

-Alternator is charging the battery when running

-Explorer is parked outside in cold with block heater and battery blanket plugged in.

Any ideas?

Not enough info. Does it do nothing when you turn the key? Does it just click a little with a key turn? Does it turn over but not fire? Does it fire but not start? Does it start but not stay running?

did you figure out the cause?

Mine sometimes does the same thing, when I turn the key it jus keeps cranking. and i have to try it a few times then it starts and runs great. Any ideas on what it could be? My battery and alt are fine.
