do a search..it's probably your crank position sensor. I had the same issue and after replacing it worked like a champ. You can replace this yourself fairly easy.

Second that, classic crank position sensor symptoms. 15 minute job with one wrench.

the CPS will cause this as well. replacing it should resolve your issue.
