It was actually for me I was left stranded in the middle of the Nevada desert with a dead battery and I had to call the Dominion for help.

^LOL thats what I said. But turns out his battery died and his car got flooded when he tryed to start it.
We tryed to jump it but she would not have it.
After we put the new battery in, we had to use the washer fluid line to deflood his 8 then crank it stop, crank it stop, crank it stop. I think on the 4th try she turned over with a big ass back fire. Let her idle for a bit till the idle was smooth. Then he was good to go.
I would like to give a big shot out to devoid! you da man.

As long as the battery has some voltage to power the ECU, coils (and security system), the car will start.

I think the magic number is 9 volts....

Just buy either a Red or Yellow Top Gel Battery or even AC Adelco with 1000 cca

It's much easier to throw in the tow hooks in both cars...and pull it for a couple hundred yards.

That way the battery can be stone dead...and the alternator will still give you enough current to get it going..and even if it's flooded it will start

Hell...I started a couple of cars with one rotor and drove them like that after they were running....
