New e82 owner excited picked up copart Thursday 2/102k.miles no rust

Just purchased a 2011 e82 on copart. brought it back with the 2011 Nissan Titan. Almost got locked in the copart yard. I drive so much, I decided I needed a car again sooner. Plus my truck differentials are in need of maintenance. Didn't wanna wait until my e36 is done. The car ran great when I inspected it at copart 102k miles black on black sunroof low options so it's lighter. Automatic for now 😄. My e36 used to be an auto now it has a t56 and ls3 hoping to put in in next few months. used to have a 5.3 aluminum block but blew up after a season.now going wide body and Holley terminator.

When I go to load up the e82 course I couldn't jump it but as a backup plan I brought a rented trailer with a winch.
Troubleshooted this weekend intermittent starting issues and hard to start. Pretty new bouncy idle that didn't exist before. Lots of misfire codes (every cylinder) and p1050 p1056. Realized I could only get it to start very intermittent with my truck battery piggy backed on the battery. Measured jump + point and it didn't see any voltage. Ran a welding cable from back positive to the jump point area below the one reading open circuit. Then ran my jumper cables

Still wouldn't start with new temporary positive cable and grounds ran from battery and to engine block. Made a thick gauge wire from one terminal on jumper block to the other terminal now it starts and purrs great. I'm gonna check the bottom ground cable. And make a new thicker gauge cable as a jumper. Eventually buy a new positive distributor connector point. Mayne after I inspected it someone else inspected it and shorted something out.
