There is nothing I can do once it starts but pull over. I then shut the car off and after 2 minutes or so it starts right up like nothin ever happened. From there its good for a few more miles where it does the same thing again but within a shorter distance, say 10 miles. If I try to start it up immediately after it dies it spits and backfires and such. Other than that it idles and drives great!

I changed the fuel filter in hopes of having an easy fix but that didn't help any. The service engine light never came on until after I replaced the filter, .
This has been a great car up until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
