Default 1991 Civic Dx Crank, no start problem

Howdy, been a long time since I posted but needed to come back for some advice.

Ive got a 1991 Honda Civic DX, 4 speed, no AC, no power steering, **** box. Its my daily putt putt car.

Driving to work today I stopped at the gas station to pick up a couple items and when I tried to start the car back up, it just cranked and cranked but wouldnt start. After a couple second of cranking the check engine light came on. Tried to start it a couple more times only to get the same result.

I was able to get it running after the help of a couple guys pushing me so I could push start it. Once it was running it was fine. My wife said that this happened to her a few days ago but after sitting for a few minutes it started right up.

Any insight on what may be causing this issue?
