For the first few days it would cut out while I was driving but as long as I gased it, it would continue driving. Then it actually died a few times while driving but started back up immediately. I parked the other day for about and hour and when I went to leave it wouldn't start. We tryed starting it several times and had it towed on Sunday to our house. It started this morning when my husband tryed it. Any ideas on what the problem could be? If you want anymore information please let me know.

Its gonna be a fuel or an electrical problem. Start with a fuel pump pressure test. fuel pump is probably an electric version. fuel pump could be getting weak. Be careful, SOME vehicles incorporate -2- fuel pumps, one in the fuel tank to pressurize the fuel system up to the delivery pump. If its an electrical issue, refer to a qualified technician, as one can become very frustrated trying to understand a troubleshooting "flow chart" (also requires a few basic tools not everybody has) Good luck!

I suggest spending a few thousand dollars (You read it right) to tune up your car again; to me, it sounds like the combustion engine may have stopped combusting. Either a replacement is necessary, or some minor fixing is neccessary.
The other possibility is your fuel injector has failed.
Cars are something you shouldn't save on; the more money you save, the more problems you get.
Also, take note that North American car manufacturers build cars for use for 5 years. After 5 years, you need to get your car patched up a bit before you can drive 5 more years. After 7 or 8 years, it is time to change cars.
I hope this helps.
