When it shuts off, if it doesn't immediatly restart, check to see if spark or fuel is missing. One will most likely be not working. From there, we can better diagnose the issue. If you need directions for checking both, go to our homepage under the DIY section. There are detailed instructions there. Let us know what you find. My first guess is the fuel pump, but it needs checked to be sure.
