I was wondering if you could give me a clue as to why the car may be shutting off. It is driving fine one minute then it turns around and just shuts off. I turn everything off and wait for about 3 minutes and start it and sometimes it keeps going and others it will shut down within 10 min.

When it shuts off, test spark and fuel. You are most likely missing one of these elements.
