Default HELP starting issues!!! haft to push start it every morning by myself

well i went to sleep a couple nights ago after coming home from a friends house and went to sleep and all was well...then i wake up and try to go to school and i turn the key and.......nothing its not even cranking over....so i check the battery and everything is fine and i check the connections and everything is still fine......i was told it could be my starter acting up but i am hoping its not that cause it just got a new starter less than 3 months ago.
Ohh and btw i have a B20B with an ls tranny super stock!
please help i really dont want to push my car everyday to get to school......

I think my first question would be if it starts fine the rest of the day? then the other thing I would say is if it is having a hard time starting in the morning then the battery needs to be checked with a tester not just the conections, then if the battery is good then starter ampreage draw needs to be looked at. you should not take more than 200amps to turn a cold 4cly, if it does then there could be resistance in the motor itself or the starter could be going out. one thing is try hitting the starter with a hammer or something in the morning and see if that helps. if it does just get a new starter. if not then one of the other things need to be tested. gl.

Not as cold as it is here in Canada.


Sounds like a starter to me, or maybe the clutch inhibitor sensor (sensor that tells your clutch is in neutral) mine was doing that for about 1 month before it eventually died completely.
