Well if you can get it going with a jumpstart then it means it has nothing to do with your starter. It means either your battery is pooched, or your battery is just dead because your alternator hasnt been charging it. Try jumping it, and if it fires up put a voltmeter on your battery and make sure you have 13.5 - 14.5 volts going thru. If you dont then you know its alternator time.
