GMC Jimmy Battery Problem

Why won't my car start?
It turns over until the battery dies. (Cold weather). We tried jumping it after the battery died but all It would do was turn over still.

How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Get the battery charged. Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.
