I think you may still need a better engine ground. As it is it's kind of relying on the small ground strap on the firewall as its main engine ground. This could be where the problem started for the PO and why it would start from a jump.

Can't hurt to try, grab a jumper cable and just whack it from the motor to a big chassis bolt and see if that helps.
