      Have you ever had your fuel filter changed??? If it is plugged or dirty gas will have a hard time getting to your engine……also, go to autozone and have them put a meter on your alternator and see how strong it is…..a weak alternator will sometime start and usually cause your car to die and stall……..driveway mechanic*********
