We were able to push start it and get it running but it inevitably just dies. We let it idle in the parking lot for 15 minutes the first time and then it died. I tried driving it up and down the street near the gas station where I originally got stranded, and it just died while driving.

I can't tell if these are two separate problems? Two different times, we were able to get it to crank by rocking the car while in gear. Something I noticed that I'm not sure if his related, the gauge cluster lights flutter and then go out right when the engine dies.
