If you need a "car engine to start the engine" something is not right. I think you need to "clarify"

A few things to check:
1. The battery
2. The air filter
3. Clean the throttle body
4. Check the fuel pressure
5. Check the starter
You can have a charging systems diagnostic to check the battery, starter, alternator. This costs around $25.
If this stuff checks out OK, then I'd clean the throttle body and make sure my air filter isn't so filthy the engine can't breath. Then see if this makes a difference. If not then have the fuel pressure checked. If the fuel pump is starting to go then pressure can be below specifications and it may just barely run or stall on occasion.
Also, if it has not had a tune up, just spark pugs, in the past 30-50,000 miles then it may be time for this.
Good Luck!

You need a new battery, starter, or alternator. Its hard to say with out any more info, but any local parts store should have the equipment to check the battery and alternator with out removing them from the car. If both of those check out good its probably your starter.
