Won't start without a jump....so....first thing to look at is the battery.
- have you checked the voltage of the battery?
- have you inspected the cables, clamps, and connectors of the main electrical system?

Now if the rest of the electrical is still fully functional, but the starter never hits....that might be something different. But start with the basics first.

is there a check engine light? It could be misfiring.. but that will set a code. I mean if it sounds choppy or cammed. That's pretty bad.
If a battery is so bad that it sounds cammed, then you should notice it during "cranking".
I have replaced just 1 fuel injector in 135000 miles.
