    car would not start this morning

    hello all,
    i will keep this as short as i can. my ex wife has an 06 magnum(i think it is an 06) that would not start this morning. i'm thinking battery, it got pretty chilly this morning. i went over after work to jump it off and it started. took it down to the local Goodyear place and the dude did a quick battery check...comes up OK. so when leaving, she starts the car and it cuts off and says "this is what it did this morning". so...apparently, it did start but then shut off. it did start and we drove it home. i did a quick search and come up with the 3 second rule to make sure the fuel pump is "primed". i didn't find anything else that jumped out at me. does anyone have anything right off the top of their heads? do these cars have crank position sensor problems? i have an 03 Cadillac CTS that i just replaced the crank sensor on, it would do a similar thing. thanks for your help.

    I had a problem with the wires coming loose at the main bulkhead. Showed all kinds of weird and conflicting symptoms. Mine would start with a jump either. Dealer double nutted the lugs and had no problems since.
