Like Petza, I will almost guarantee you that it is the battery. Replace it. With the same problems, I had bought a new ignition switch and figured out how to by-pass the clutch pedal switch. But replacing the battery solved everything.

You'll need a multimeter for this, and it's very simple. With engine running measure voltage across the battery terminals. You should see approx 14.5 volts. The battery's primary purpose is to start the engine; once it's running the alternator takes care of electrical needs and recharging the battery.

Could have been a bad brand new battery with the plates internally shorted, and since you're hooking up the jump start battery through the same shorted connection, it doesn't work either. You can test this, as I mentioned in my earlier message, by disconnecting the cables from the current battery and only connecting them to the jump start cables. Then try to start the car.

Thanks Alot for help in troubleshooting it. It turned out to be battery problem. Once I replaced battery with new one, it started like new.
Question still rise, what could have made 3 weeks battery to go bad? I have to investigate the issue more. I was told battery dont die like that something has caused battery to die
