Quite a few:)
try cycling the key a few times, see if that helps.
If that doesn't help, try giving it some 'gas' (air) when you start..injectors may be leaking down.
When was the last time your ignition system was gone through/inspected?
You should run a few doses of Techron through your system (change the oil/filter afterwards).

I saw one car that did that and it was the wire from the distributor to the coil that was broken under the insulation at the coil. Turn right and the motor moved just enough to break connection and the engine would die.
Start your engine and then start gently tugging on the wiring around it to see if any of it makes the engine quit. Also, take a look at your motor mounts to see if they're letting the engine move more than it should.
