Yup. BTDTDWGB (been there, done that, don't wanna go back).

First, try jumping the car off from the jump off post in the engine
compartment.  If it jumps off (starts) fine from the jump off post, but
doesn't start when you connect the jumper cables directly to the battery,
that's exactly what my TQW did.  Turned out to be the splice.

Search on the word "splice", and Chris Miller's research will help you
determine the cause.
