I've got an 87 CRX and had the same problem. It started by just dying on the road, but would start back up. The problem got worse until eventually it just cranked over and over but did not start. I went nuts checking all the obvious...coil, distributor, fuel pump. Somebody told me on some CRX models there is a fuel cutoff valve in the event of a wreck. I don't have one on mine but you may have one bad on yours. I eventually tracked my problem down to the ignition switch. It provide power to the starter for cranking, but as soon as the key was released, it lost electrical contact. Hope some of this helps. Good luck.
xxboixx : Just try jump starting it.
If your car is a Saturn or any orther gm it could eb your bcm(body control module) it is a stupid thing gm put in their vehicles to completely control everything electronic if it fails your car can just die while running if you have power windows and locks the would start going crazy your trunk could open if if iss electric and it can make your car seem like it has a completely dead battery even if it if fully charged. if it is a Saturn the module in in the dash behind the stereo but even if you change it yourslef you have to go to the dealer to get it programed abotu $500 job
I had a similar problem... It turned out the the air intake hose had come loose and the air flow meter was not registering that there was any air flow to the engine, so the computer was not signaling the injectors to provide any fuel... Put the hose back on and it started right up :P
If the car does not stay running , or wont start at all on jumping? First thought no gas. Also ignition system. alternator mainly the reason you had no power to start in the first place no battery power, this comes from the turning alternator if damaged will not maintain power to spark and no power to recharge battery.
ifyou wait about 5 mins and then it usually starts without a problem its most likely going to be a faulty crankshaft sensor ong about £40 to fix
The # one problem with today's cars is fuel pumps ; this sounds like one.As the pump gets warm,it loses power. Do have it checked out.
Power management - is designed to reduce the amount of drain on your phone's battery (and thus extend the time between charges). The function simply shuts down apps and programs that are rarely used (you can still manually start them if needed).
If the lights in the car come on, then at least part of the system is getting power. Check the battery connections again. Then check the starter solenoid and starter to insure that they are getting power and are working properly.
Fuel pressure should be around 40. If the injectors are not getting power it will not start. Start with a crank sensor first.
If you are getting fuel and it will not start you have no spark.
the battery is flat or its to old
Hold the power button until it shuts down and then when it has, wait about five minutes. After that, press the power button to start it back up again.
If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.
most likely the coil housing is cracked or distributor cap

There is a recall on 2004 envoy and also it may be that a fuse is not getting direct supply of power.
If this is the remote start system, it shuts down the engine for security.
When the key is in the "start" position all accesssories are designed to be "locked out" to concentrate all the available power to the starting circuit. How about the "on" position - do accessories have power at that position? - if not could be a bad ignition switch
Sounds like an electrical problem - maybe coil

I would suspect you have a very weak fuel pump. Have it tested.
