I've tried bump starting mine a few times, and doesn't work. I looked at my manual and it states that it cannot be bumped/push started. Weird.

Probably goes back to just how dead the battery really is. Zero power means no ECU or fuel and not a hope in hell it would work.

Battery wasn't dead. I was just curious about bump starting it since I bump start my first Yaris often.

Time for a magneto swap.



It's how it should've come from the factory.

You must have still had loads of power for the ECU and fuel pump.
The car had been sitting for 1 month prior to getting gas and I have a 10 Series, those HIDS suck down some juice.
