Default freak accident now won't start.

ok so i was driving my car and the driver side motor mount broke and the motor slammed on the ground!by this time i was pissed and deppressed. but i sat there and witrh the help of a friend and a ride i managed to pick up another motor mount and put it on and everything using factory honda jacks.so now when i got the car put together it wouldn't start. so i figured it was the battery.so we pushed started it. and everything was great car started no problem. i drove it around and decided to turn the key while i was driving to make sure everything was fine and nothing, starter doesn't grind or anything.the starter actuator is getting signal all wires are good. ignition is good. ground is good.if we push start it it runs. what could it be?? someone please help me out this is my daily driver and without this i'm stuck doing nothing.please help.also this is a 92 dx hatch with a 93 b17a1 gsr in it.running a cable GSr trannsmission.someone please help me.

does your starter get the signal to operate the plunger?

check and make sure the ground wire didnt rip in half or come off when the motor fell.. could be simple as that.

there should be the one that connects around the valve cover and another larger tranny ground..

Yep defently the starter conections somewhere. Try taking them off and cleaing them up. I don't thing your oil pan bent in that hard so it woun't let you crank turn (stupid idea)

check the motor make sure nothing is really bent in or nothing is punched thru the block. Try to spin the motor with a wrench from the crank pulley. See if it's cranking.

I think he said the motor runs so why would he need to see if it cranks over. If it is running shouldnt it be ok, I am not that smart but thats what it seems to me. He is just having problems getting it started. So probably nothing wrong with the motor, no holes in the block or anything.
