When I go to start my car from time to time I will turn it over and it will start but then within 5 seconds will die, some times it will take three of four tries before the motor will stay runnig. Now this does not happen all the time and I can not think of anything else that it is doing besides this. Does anyone have an idea of what I need to fix to get this to stop? thanks for the help!!

There could be several things causing the engine to die. You need to scan for trouble codes to help in diagnosis. Any AutoZone would be able to do this. See what codes if any are stored and provide me with the codes so I can help you figure out what's going on.
