My engine intermittently shuts off shortly after I start my car. Sometimes it does not do this for 5 - 7 weeks in a row, but other times it does this several times in a week. Most of the time it happens first thing in the morning, but sometimes it happens after work. It dies within 1/4 mile of being started -- generally while I'm still in a parking lot or just pulling onto the road. My car is parked outdoors and I live in a mild climate. Weather does not appear to be a factor. I bought the car used. It has been doing this since shortly after I bought my car. I took it to the dealership, but they said that it didn't happen when they started the car and refused to look into it further.
