does it crank at all? Can you hear the starter solenoid actuating? Check the little signal wire on the starter, it is a spade connector and sometimes they can get pulled off, the wire loom is really tight there.

Are the symptoms consistent even when it starts? To clarify, when it doesn't start, does it seem as if all is normal and then you just get nothing?

If so, I'd say its likely to be starter/starter connection or that clutch switch.

agreed

sometimes if the starter is bad or had a bad spot (hence old guys hitting the starter with a hammer) it will only start randomly.... it is possible for a starter to over heat and some of the wires could be loose too..check it out and get back to us

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when it refuses to start?

No idea whether you guys have a factory fitted immobiliser but that's common behaviour for us in the UK when we experience this issue...a faulty immobiliser.

Is it even possible to push start an S2000? If it is, then same question if the battery is dead!
With fuel injection and a dead battery, the pump won't be pressurized.

Yes. You push it down a hill, put it in second, and then bam. Frankenstein start.

crank
