He is right on, there has to be enough of a charge to fire the coil packs. Unlike the cars of old the push will not spin the alternator fast enough to charge the ignition system. It takes a lot more to spin the starter, as you will notice every thing going dim. Starting in second gear is also easier as you are not turning engine over as fast. Lastly, if you use a toe strap you can charge a dead system but be aware the car will jump forward when it starts so use a longer tow strap.
