Default '99 civic starts then dies

'99 civic with AT, 99K
I drive the car long enough to warm it up, turn it off for a while, and when I drive again the car will die. It will start, then die again. This goes on for maybe 5 tries or if I let it sit for a few minutes. Then it runs normal.
1) It's not showing anything as far as CEL codes.
2) I can hear the fuel pump is coming on as normal.
3) I replaced the main fuel relay. I understand there is a problem with the solder connections being exposed to hot temperatures like a closed up car. I know someone who had the same problem and changing the relay fixed theirs, but not mine.
4) Battery connections are clean and tight.
Any help appreciated, thanks

Alternator, or maybe your starter is taking a poop.

A ground could be loose too, but it's unlikely.

Check your map sensor on the throttle body that the plug is nice and tight.
