Bad ignitor? Assuming you have fuel delivery it is a likely and common part to fail on older high mileage vehicles.

Once started the car is fine. Getting it started it's my problem. When I jump it, it starts right up.
I'm definitely going to be looking into the ignitor tho.

First step in fixing a no-start is determining whether fuel or ignition is causing no-start.

Suggest attempting to start w/ a long (5-10 sec) blast of throttle body cleaner or starter fluid in the air intake duct. Attempt to start.

If no-start continues, the ignition problem is highly likely; ignition switch assy, ignitor, coil are things to inspect.

If engine starts and runs briefly, then fuel delivery problem is causing no-start. This is usually Main Fuel Relay fault, or less likely sticking fuel pump.

good luck
