84' CRX starting/running problem

I checked out about 1000 threads but no luck in finding a solution. I was just driving along then the car died no irregular sounds. It had done the same type of thing before but I always got it back by pressing on the clutch before it compleatly died. Attempted to start it no luck, sometimes it turned over but didn't start for more than 15 seconds. The fuel pump is fine and the starter and battery are too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I thought that the new spark plugs fixed it (it ran on sunday) but when I was leaving my job today the same thing happened again. All of my guy friends moved and they use to help me. Does anyone have any clue whats wrong with it?

You ought to try backing off the clutch cable some, if stepping on the clutch brings it back to life.
