This doesn't really prove anything, but I have seen special jumper 
cables for use on newer cars with computers. They come apart in the 
middle. You attach the two sections just like normal and then connect the 
two pieces. It is supposed to minimize the shock to the system. I wonder 
if it makes a difference if the EFI car that has the dead battery or if 
it is doing the charging. I would think it might be worse for the EFI car 
to GET the jump start, but who knows.
just my $.05 worth (inflation),
