FIRST YOU HAVE POTTY MOUTH, NO NEED TO CURSE. Second there could be a few thingS not letting your car start, it could be the solenoid that you are jumping is bad. There should be a purple wire and should have power when you crank it, if no power then you will need to trace it back, it could be a bad clutch switch...
