Default Car wont start....

It wont start. I took the battery to get checked, and they said its OK. Nothing happens when I turn the key. No check engine light, electrical seems fine. Had to get a couple guys from work to help me push start it, and when it did start, it'd idle suuuuper low. Had to keep revving the engine to keep from dying out. Starter?
I have about 40K miles in a little under 3 years. Oil changed every 3K-3.5K miles. Im a delivery driver, so I start up/turn off my car alot. Ideas? Thx.

Try tapping the starter with a hammer or something the next time you go to start it. Could be sticking. Most probably time for a new one............

Check your Cam gear timing if its TDC with with the timing on the crankshaft because if its not alighned, then the car won't start at all and even if it did then you'll probably have to rev the engine just to keep it alive. Definitly check this out because this happend to me before and I thought it was my starter too but turns out the timing on the CAM Gear and Crankshaft weren't alighned to TDC together.
