Default Minor problem with starting

first off i hope my title isnt mis-leading. My car starts perfectly but when i turn the car

off and try to turn it back on RIGHT after i turn it off it will not start. It sounds like

cranking with a 100% dead battery.I have to let it sit for atleast 30 secs before it starts

again. This happens sometimes, not all the time. Just wondering what it could be and if

anyone else has this problem. Im not going to fix it or anything, i would just like to know

whats wrong.

are you saying the engine doesnt crank period? if thats the case, then i dont know what to tell you.

if it will crank, but not fire, then its more than likely the main relay.
