Mine was doin that for a cpl days, and I went through and tested all the wires, and found a grounding wire (duno what it was) but I fixed it and its all better...
But wait... Mine never fully started... it just cranked over, started and died.
i ALSO HIT THE BATTERY WITH A HAMMER....... AND THEN IT WORKED... SO IUNNO :P

Well can you push start a rotary?? Cause I tried my damndest to do it hte other day and... NO LUCK.. JUST CHURNING SOUNDS... And I know how to push start a car for those who wanna make wisecracks :P
Anyways, if its the starter you'd be able to push start it... And it would run!... If not then... Something else man.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Yes, you can push start them as far as I know. You might have to disable the clutch switch which completes a circuit when the clutch is depressed that allows you to start the car.
