I've consulted with the Oracle. It's your fuel pump!

if the battery has failed as bad as i suspect
i would not be jump starting it
if the battery has gone open circuit
when engine starts you may have severe voltage spikes
if it was just a flat battery, you would jump start same way
but remember, the alternator is not meant to charge a dead flat battery
and an alternator could set you back several hundred dollars
