Battery dead...push start?
 
Ok my dumbass left my lights on and now my battery's dead. I've push started my old camaro before when the starter was bad (good battery) and it worked fine. Can I do this on my Accord when the battery is dead and hopefully charge it back up?

Sounds good, but I've done it in 1st before. Is 2nd better?

you can only do as hotsex says if you have enough power to power your injectors and your pump/ecu. if your gauge lights are on when the key is to acc2 then yeah it will work

2nd is better because it gives the flywheel more spin with less push.

Hondas suck for pushing or being pushed. The bumpers are so weak.

I've heard thats a bad idea because the timing belt can jump teeth. This happened to my brother old mustang II 4 cyl, don't know if it would happen on Hondas.
