I can rock the car, it cranks. Push the car while in Neutral and it will crank.

If it can crank on P/N -your best bet is to check fuel pressure to see if its within specs and also look for spark and then check engine compression

Try resetting your security system if no manual look online for your car to reset it.

The car will crank, but will not catch or turn over. It may crank and turnover if the car is sharpened or maybe push while in Neutral position,the car only runs when on the diagnostic machine?
