could be your starter! i had an 86 integra once with kinda the same thing. i push started it for weeks until someone realized there was a wire disconnected from the starter. if your lights come on its probably not your battery.

Check all connections between the battery and the starter. Clean and tighten as needed.

alternator probably not keeping battery charged or battery just to dead
