are you getting lights? perhaps you need to get the security relearn, if you have an autostarter it screws with the security system.

That's my guess... I would let it sit for at least 1 hour, then try it again, then wait another hour........

stealthy1ss, I know what your thinking lol

ProjekCobalt, you should see if you can take the battery down to autozone and have them look at it, odds are its a blown cell or just fubar. Swap it out, and go home

Can you push it fast enough to push start it? Just pust fast and pop the clutch out and back in real quick.
