I would start with checking the igition coil pack for power. If there is power to circuit you may want to see if you could swap one with a known good coil pack. Any codes set?

Your english is good no worries. It is possiable that a voltage spike from jump starting the vehicle may have damaged a module. You found have to bring the vehicle to a repair facility that can read any codes set, and check powertrain control data.

I have one more question...
Did you mean ignition module,
which activates ignition coil?
Maybe that can burn?

Yes the ignition modules do go bad often but you should have it checked before just replacing it.
