Default is my car crapping out on me???

ok... so lately i have been noticing that almost everytime i shut my car off for 3-5 minutes when i get back in to leave i will start it.. it will start up run for a couple of seconds and it will die.. then it will take around 2-4 minutes to get it started again... this has been going on for a couple of months now but i just ignore it until now im getting fed up with..

now the other problem i dont know if its the clutch or the clutch master cylinder... when i press on the clutch pedal around halfway down i can hear and physically feel in the pedal when depressing it a click or pop... and when i let off the pedal on the way up more near the top i hear that same pop.. if anybody can help me out that would be appreciated

First problem is main relay. Common. I once traded a CRX for a Neon because of this, but I didn't know that it was common, nor that it was a easy fix back then.

Second if the clutch use(feel) it's self hasn't changed, then it's the springs in the pedal assembly binding.

hell yes its the main relay. i had the same exact problem in my 92 hatch CX. it would start then stop. then sometimes never start id come back 3 hours later she would fire right up. put new main relay in. bam problem solved.

The first problem sounds like it's your main relay, replace it and you're golden.

ok thanks... im gonna get that done today.. i really dont want to be stuck anywhere.. i just noticed today... it did it and i couldnt hear the relay clicking like usual after the fuel pump primes.. actually i couldnt even hear the fuel pump...

i just put an act stage2 or hd pressure plate with street/track disc... and i took it to the track and i noticed that it was doing that but its not doing it anymore.. im gonna check the pedal assembly out for that.. thanks for the info
