I start my car doesn't come on the first time, then I start it again it runs than im straight for the day. Next day starts than stops in the street, then I start it back up then it runs, so then I get a tune up then I got to the store it starts then when leaving the store never comes on.

When the problem occurs, are you saying, the vehicle cranks good but won't start?

Go with the basics, have helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have plenty of spark, check the fuel system.

If you can't check for codes yourself, some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free, if you can get it down there.

I just wanted to add, I don't think I've ever seen a v8 four wheel drive pontiac grand prix?
