Unhappy Help! Won't Start!

I have a 90' rx7 and one day I went to start it and it cranked for like half a second then stopped. I would try to start it again and it would just click so I thought it was the starter. My friends and I went to push start it but it won't budge. Could have something happened to the engine? If anyone knows what might be the problem I need your help! Thx!

Uh oh, sounds like the classic locked engine. A search on "carbon lock" or "seized engine" should turn up all the info.

Check to see if your battery terminals are tight or check to see if their is any damage done to the battery terminals themselves. i had the same problem on my TII and the positive battery terminal was damaged. If doesn't work you might have electrical gremlins.

Um, if he can't rotate the engine by pushing the car, it's not the starter.
