Arrow Starting issue

When I came close to a stop my RPM's dropped and the car died, but I was rolling enough to pop start with the clutch. So I cruised down the road some more, and 5 or 6 times I pushed the clutch in to and each time the RPM's dropped and it died, but I kept pop starting with the clutch each time.

Feels like it still has compression - it still pulls hard. BUT when I pulled in the driveway the car died and now I cannot start it normally.

I checked: (1) I have spark, (2) I am getting fuel, (3) it's cranking over, (4) I have a new ignition switch I just replaced last month. (5) New spark plugs today. (6) All fuses are good. It keeps cranking and cranking but won't start. It sounded like a couple of times that it might pop over, but no.

I am running the PFC for management. I saw that the O2 sensor wire is broken. So I will be replacing my O2 sensor, but would the O2 sensor being disconnected cause the car to not want to start? I'm not sure if the PFC would prevent it from starting if the O2 wasn't hooked up. Also why would it start at a rolling start, but not with the just the starter? I even sprayed starting fluid in the TB to see if that might do something - NO.

Bad Battery

So check this out...

I tried starting the 7 again and wouldn't start cuz of dead battery. So I pulled the battery from my SUV and the 7 started right up. I charged the 7 battery and then tried starting it and it wouldn't start, it would crank, but it wouldn't start. So I had the battery tested and sure enough it had a bad cell in it!

Weird, so luckily it was still under warranty. New battery = starting 7!
