this is what happens when i try to start it, the lights come on like brake and other things in the gauge cluster, so when i try to start it they just blink like crazy and it makes the taping noise like crazy

also try not to push it, try to use jumper wires or somebody batter to make sure, because the battery may have enought electricity to light up the gauges but not enought to start the car...

Not a great idea starting a car by push if its a timing belt equipped car. You can easily skip a notch and
throw things wayyyyy off.

Just something to keep in mind for the future.
