Question Help!!! I cant get my 06 Magnum SXT up & running!!

Ok.. I just purchased a 06 Dodge Magnum SXT from my brother w/ only 87,000 miles on it. But the problem is that the car barely turns over, and when it does it only runs for a few seconds and then stalls. The check engine light as well as the lightning bolt between ) ( is flashing. The battery is also dying on it so I have to get a jump every time I have something done to the car. 1st took it to my a recommended mechanic and he told me that the "computer" PCM needed to be reset, or "flashed' so I got the car towed to the dealer to have the work done. The dealer supposedly flashed the PCM but the same problems still persist, so I had them do a diagnostic. Afterwards, they told me that I needed a new PCM, Tipm, & a Throttle Body Assembly. Parts along with labor totaled $2,200 dollars so I ended up just paying for the Dianostic/PCM flash and got the car towed back to my house. I then got my mechanic to look @ the car and he went to the Tipm and noticed that one of the connectors for the Front Control Module was damaged so he disconnected it and the car started right up, but it stalled within 2-3 seconds afterwards. He told me that I needed a new FCM but I'm not sure if he's right so I was looking for a 2nd opinion to prevent me from buying something that I don't actual don't need. I've also been told that it could be a problem with the security on my car and that it may need to be reset due to my battery dying. So, does anybody have any idea of what the problem could be with my car?

Update: Ok, I went and bought a new battery & had it installed. Then I was able to finally pull codes by doing the "key dance" and 2 came up. P0688, & P2101. I know that the 2101 code is a thottle body issue so I got mines cleaned 1st to see if I'll help but it's still cutting off on me plus the code is still coming up, so I've ordered another one. Now as far as the 0688 code I know its the ASD relay issue so I bought a new relay and I'm going to install it in the morning due to the fact its raining right now.. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens..
