Yes ive searched this. Ill start from the beginning.

Driving home friday my car just shuts off tryed to pop the clutch to get it started back up and wouldnt start back up.Cranked the engine till battery died. So my mom comes jumps and starts up. Went to drive it today and it died again.so we tow it home because it wouldnt jump back up and so i could work on it. EGI relay was buzzing. I did the pull the EGI pump relay start trick works. But then it eventually die. Now finally i wiggled some ground connects. The one from battery to the bottom of the block.and then the one on the back right of the engine to the firewall. And it is starting again for now atleast. I read that a loose ground can cause the EGI buzzing is from a bad ground. Is this correct? and EGI has something to do with the ECU and ground/power can someone clear this one up for me. and EGI is fuel pump? I just need to find out what excatly causes this so im not stranded on the side of the road again.
