My car wont start and when it did the engine shut off on me when I was driving...my battery is good and I think it may be my fuel filter and/or my ignition box column b/c my panel lights (gas tank, engine light, etc) wont come on when I attempt to start it ...what do suggest the problem is?

Welcome, I agree. I'd check the feed to and from the ignition switch. Check ipc/acc fuse-- 10 amp, left side of dash, use a testlite. The circuit should go hot when you turn on the key. Supplies voltage to instrument cluster.

Check ipc/acc fuse-- 10 amp?...now when you say that is that under the hood right? Cuz yesterday it started and it started when it was in neutral and I sat waiting for like 5-10minutes and let run for a minute in park/neutral. However, as soon as I put it in drive the car shut off within a matter of 1-3 minutes.

No, the fuse shows to be inside vehicle.
