I can drive a short distance and then my car will either shut off or will not start back up after shutting it off. I have been able to determine that it is not a fuel issue as I am getting plenty of fuel. Can you please help diagnose this problem?

It starts just fine a couple times a day, but will not run around in a constant from place to place.
