cranks something fierce but wont start...?
As the title says, I engage the clutch, turn the key and all it does is crank. It should be noted that first attempts result in a partial start with rpms almost reaching idle level, but after the first sputter~die the rpms don't move.
My battery is golden and this has been happening on a off for sometime. It has gotten progressively worse but I have been putting it off. Now it seems I'm in trouble. It did this exact same thing last week and eventually started sometime later. Im at a lose and don't want to bring it in to a dealership without having a clue as what the problem might be. I've done a few searches (and will hit it hard after posting this) and see some similar signs to the IAC Valve failure that has been discussed (Idle dropping and stalling).
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

X3. Fuel pump relay is common.
Do you notice it happens when the inside of the car gets real hot? Let the interior cool off and see if it starts. At least thats what heppend to me. When the interior got hot it would not start. I'd roll down the windows for about 20 min and it was good to go. Changed the fuel pump relay and the problem was gone.

I made sure it was the relay by powering fuel pump directly from battery when problem appeared. Just removed relay and re-soldered contacts... faulty connection acts up in hot weather.
