Are you losing power when trying to start? Just use jumper cables to hook up to the other persons car, you don't need to remove his battery. Remember the essentials any engine needs. The right amount of fuel, air, spark, compression. If you have those things then you should be good to go.

If the motor cranks but is not starting it is either lack of fuel, too much fuel or no spark. It is not a bad battery or weak electrical system, as the car would not crank with a bad battery or would crank extra extra slow.
Since spark fails about once in a blue moon on a FC, the ignition system is probably not it.
Which leads back to no fuel or too much fuel.
Like idsigloo said, what are the condition of the spark plugs??? Wet ??? Dry???
Wet means the car is flooded (regardless of if you think it is or not).
Dry means no fuel, so then you need to start looking to see if the AFM is plugged in and if the fuel pump is working.

Funny i'm having the same issue with my FC...we took the EGR system out and removed the rats nest... bought new lead and trail plug...pretty much tore the top end off the engine... Put in block plates and all. The car jsut cranks and cranks and cranks. Now here's the background... The car was sitting for about 4 years or so. It was cleaned out the fuel filter and pump were replaced and then when we got it in the shop it started a couple times using the Fuel Pump Relay unplug plugin tecnique...Now the car does not want to start whatsoever...It just crank and cranks and cranks.... We have spark and air and 90% sure we have compression. Would anyone suggest pourng a small amount of atf in to the engine? I'm lost guys and galls help me out!!!

You could use some oil (I personally don't think ATF belongs in motors) to help build compression, but if the motor has been sitting, a compression check should be manditory.
So, again, the same thing I said to Compton, what is the condition of the spark plugs??? Wet ??? Dry???
