My car cuts out all the time, but not bad. It has been doing that for as long as I have owned it. Now I went to go somewhere the other day, and it was cold out. It started just fine, put it in gear and it shut off. Tried to start it again and it hesitated to start. But it did. Went to put it in gear again and shut off again. It is warmer out today and it started and went into gear just fine. No engine lights are coming on.

Good afternoon,

The one sensor that controls fuel mapping is the coolant sensor. It is located on the intake manifold by the thermostat. I would try that first as it is easy repair.
