Here is the run down:
Came home after riding my new motorcycle to see I left the door cracked and dome light on. Try to start, dead battery. Jump it off a Durango and nothing. Let it sit and draw charge off Durango. Still nothing. Give it gas and try. Fires up smooth. Let off gas and it dies. Try again. As im backing off the throttle, I hear a soft poof noise and then decide to leave it alone. Any ideas?

Your PCM doesnt have enough juice cause your battery isnt fully charged. jump it, start it, and keep your foot on the gas at 2000 rpm for about 3 to 5 minutes and the alternator should charge it up. This happens to me and my friends jeeps all the time, that always works for us
