Being by yourself is a pain in itself, usually if I know my battery is dead I park on a hill and roll down until its at about 20kph and slowly let the clutch out while I'm in 2nd. I am lucky though because my car is carbed and I have a cam driven fuel pump. Best idea would be to just shell out for a new battery

Ive done this by myself before on a level surface

make sure your key is on the on position

then push the car by the door frame

one at a speed where u cant run any faster quickly hop in

hold in the clutch

put the car in first

and let the clutch out


hope it works out for you man, good luck

yea thanks for the info..but lol...i know how to push start a car...thanks for your help though (there are many people that dont kno how i guess?)

I got it running after numeruos tries....

I hooked up a ghetto house / batt charger.

house out let ----> 14.5 volt remote control charger -----> batt

lets the batt charge enough so the fuel pump would at least prime

once it primed pushed it pop the clutch in 2nd and started right up

i think it is impossible if you have a completly dead batt to push start honda's lol

why u putting it 2nd... i dont understand i never have had to do that..plus unless you have like 900 cc injectors there should be enough fuel in the fuel rail and injectors to start even if the fuel pump isnt primed..
