Default Car won't turn over or crank.

Well. Me n my friend were about to go out, so I go to start my car and it doesn't. Doesn't click or crank, does absolutely nothing. About half an hour ago it started right up. Before the problem the car started right up. My electronics come on and the fuel pump primes. Anyone got any ideas?

Maybe it did. It was weird. Like it made the crank noice for a 1/4th a second, then just stopped. How do you push start?

1. either on a flat or downhill sloping incline begin to roll the car. (you will need like 4 or 5 mph to start)
2. once you are up to a pretty good clip jump in real quick and make sure key is to the on position.
3. depress the clutch and place gear shift in 1st gear.
4. dump the clutch. the car should start.
5. make sure depress the clutch after the car starts.
6. YOU ARE GOOD TO GO BRO!

Sound's good except I live like a 55 degree slope hill. If it doesn't start, and rolls down the hill...I'm fucked haha.

I did pull the ecu fuse and it got rid of the VTEC CEL I was throwing.

I'm not ALL that worried about it because I'm sure it's a starter or fuse. It ran fine 1/2 an hour ago.

Oh well. Just keep the ideas comming.

if you are quick enough and the hill is long enough you can get a few tries in. you gotta hit those brakes if you dont get it started. good thing about the hill is that you wont have to push very hard. good luck man.

Ok, a lil update. It's not the battery, wires, plugs or wire from the battery to the starter. I checked my ecu fuse under the hood, and the starter fuse under the dash, there all good. So It prolly has to be my 10 year old starter. Is there anything else I should check?
