I realize this is an old post. I have 1994 mx-3 that does the exact same thing. Give it a little push and starts right up. Using the starter it never starts. Did you figure out the problem? Thanks

It's the internal coil circuit inside the distributor. When it heats up it ends up causing a short. Simple fix is the HEI conversion and external coil.

http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/howto/hei/index.htm this is the walkthrough on the conversion , I think it costs about 60-ish and maybe 2 hours for a novice.

Also mx-3.com may end up being a little more resourceful for you.
