sounds like the autoshutoff relay may be bad..it controls the ingition and the fuel pump too..if the pump works check for spark by inserting a screwdriver into a pulled off spark plug wire and look for a decent spark between the screwdriver shaft and any ground like the block..if no spark the relay may not be powering up the ignition system..
sounds to me like a starter issue. when the starter click andd it doesnt come popping out , usually its bad and has seized. as for you problem with the lights , that sounds like corroded grounds not giving a good pathway for the electricity . of course when you accelerate the alternator gives more power making it bright also the vibration is moving the connection around.
Do not start the car or even switch on the ignition key because that will start and fuel pump and it will pump diesel in the MPFI system and cause more problems. Call a mechanic to open the fuel tank and empty all the fuel and clean the tank.
the battery in your in car is maybe drained or damaged or the alternator which suppose to charge your battery is not working so the battery remains uncharged. One way to know if battery is not being charged, jump your car and disconnect from jump leads and take out any one of battery terminals. If engine stops, then your alternator is not working and if it remains idling, then your battery is faulty. Replace battery and see if it works.
It sounds like the Neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal or a starter problem. Try pushing the clutch pedal REAL FAR DOWN while starting. If it works have the switch adjusted. If that isn't the problem try a jump start. If that doesn't work, a starter may be be needed. Try tapping on the starter with a wrench then start.
If you heard a click when you cranked it, that's usually a dead battery. But, you need to check the oil level. I've had 2 RSX's that jumped time because the oil level dropped too low.
The tensioner on the timing chain is hydraulically controlled, if the oil level drops the tensioner looses tension and the chain jumps time. Its an extensive and expensive repair.
