Hi,

First, are the battery terminals clean and tight? Is the battery fully charged? When you crank it without being jumped, what happens?

It sounds like a loose connection to be honest. I have seen people put jumper cables on the battery terminal and by doing so, it tightens the terminal. The car starts, and then the connection is lost when a draw is placed back on the battery.

Check that and let me know.
