It has power to everything not starting up. Had to hook up to another vehicle to get her to stare for over 10 minutes. Driver her again in 10 minutes after turning it off it would not turn over, but stuff turned on.

Hello,

It sounds like you might have a battery or charging issue.
Suggest checking the alternator for correct charging and check the battery terminal for cleanliness and tight fit.

How to test the alternator:

If the battery was low and you jumped start it. You ran it for 10 minutes, the battery may still be low. It takes a little time for the battery to get back fully charged. Scan the car with a ob2 and check the altinator output and the battery condition. Had to put our car on low charge for over two hours for it to get back to start our firebird after the battery went dead and we had to jump it.
