I went back to see if anythinf was leaking, fell off, what have you but everything seemed fine no smell, nothing. So I tired maybe six times, on the seventh the car beagan to shake and the last and 8th time it started fine, it would shake a few times when we slowed down but never died at all. What could have caused this? Thanks Darryl 5898 >>>>>>>>>>> At one point in my ownership, my car would sometimes just shut off all by itself. turned out to be a combination between a couple loose fuses and relays and the wiring to the ignition resistors was poor. your case actually sounds more like a fuel problem, and we have heard this story so many times before. try filling your gas tank up and i bet the problem will go away. what happens is over time the pickup hose in the tank gets cracked or starts to collapse and once the gas goes down below the crack, you start sucking air, which will make the car 1: not start, if at all, and 2: if it does start, will run 'shakey'. you need to open the fuel pump access cover and replace everything in the tank if you have not done so. i bet your pickup hose is either deteriorated or really soft and collapsing.
