These stores in my area have handheld testers for vehicles and they can check my vehicle in their parking lot, without removing anything from my vehicle, or having to leave my vehicle overnight as happens with most automotive shops here.
If it occurs when they are closed for the night, then I either drive the vehicle for 10 or 15 minutes, or just let it idle in my driveway. If you use the 10-15 minute idle, be carefull to keep a close eye on the temperature guage to make sure the engine doesn't overheat.
car wont stay crank after a jump stays crank for a min then dies
Yes it could
Depends on the car. But it can do a few things, turn off the fuel pump for a few min. crank and start the engine but not keep it running for very long. just crank the engine.
You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.

Yes, a clogged fuel filter can keep your car from starting. It can also ruin your starter as you crank that starter over and over trying to start the vehicle.
