When I start my car its louder than usual and starts to shake. When I try to drive it will turn off on me so I have to stop the car and restart the car over and over. What can be the cause of the car shutting off on me like this? Vacuum leak or maybe main relay or distributor?

It could be a vacuum leak, but it would be a large one. You should get the trouble codes pulled. Advance Auto or Auto Zone will do this for free. Also get your fuel pressure checked. You can borrow this test tool at the aforementioned auto stores.
