Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? When it runs, does it run well or have a loss of power?

JACOV513,
I suspect the Crankshaft Position Sensor is shutting off power to the ignition.

It could be a crank sensor. Usually a check engine light will get set, but not always.
