92 mx-3 5 speed wont start, if I push the car it will start. What could be wrong with it.

Need a bit more information than just that =]<P>When you turn the key does the motor turn over or do nothing?

Yeah but it could just be her battery isnt holding a charge large enough to turn the motor over too =]

when I turn the key the motor does not do anything, I am going to check the battery today but I don't think is the battery. My clutch is almost dead, could it be something related with the clutch??? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

take a wrench or your tire iron and tap the starter a couple times firmly. then try to start it. if that's it, then you need a new starter.
