i have a buick century that I bought from a friend of mine for very cheap. He had it sitting in his yard for a year or two. I'm planning on giving it to my son once I get it fixed up. I had to replace the rear brake line and bought a new exhaust for it. I thought it was good to go, but it can't keep running. It will run for about 5 minutes, rev up, and shut off. After that, It wont start. It just backfires. Once it cools down, it will run again but it will do that same thing and shut off again. Please help me.

what year is it?
It sound to me unless it's an older model that your ignition control module is bad. If you have a distributor less ignition system that would be the first thing I'd replace. It's located under the coil packs for you spark plugs.
When they go bad they tend to work but when the engine gets warm will cut off and not start again till it cools off.
PS> Jiffy lube sucks. they know squat about car problems!

change the module and drain the tank,and get some good gas,also it could be the idle air control or the throttle position sensor.also clean out the throttle body.
