If it is your CPS, sometimes, just by fidgeting with the CPS wires, she'll start up. Then you know that's the problem. You can try that first. Just a suggestion. Good luck!

Dude - please write complete sentences, using complete words...you're not using text messaging. That is if you want help from some of the "old heads" here.

I am a little unclear as to why you needed a jump start. Was it not turning over? did the battery go weak from trying? Did it fire as soon as you jumped it?

CPS sounds like a possibility. Could also be fuel starvation. Pop your plugs and see what story they have to tell.
