we defiantly need more information.

why were you push starting it? dead starter?

what was it idling at before it died?

when was the last time you gave it a proper tune up? plugs wires, timing, ect

I think the engine is flooded also based of what I hear. Pull the plugs and spin the engine a couple times; put plugs back and car should start. Drive happy and use search next time. :-D

If you know which fuse to pull, do that. If not, pull the plugs...meaning out of the slots and out of the plug wires.

Green n red EGI and i believe EGI-F pull the fuses out, hold down the gas pedal all da way down, and start it for 10 seconds, after 10 seconds, put the fuses back and crank it with out pressing the gas, when it tries to turn over, slightly press the gas and once it starts keep the gas pedal stable, and that should work ^_^ worked on mine =]

The fuses are located on the driver side next to the powersteering pump, once you open the fuse box, the two fuses on the left side are the ones you should pull out, called EGI and EGI-F i think...
