When starting the car it will sometimes start and then sometimes it won't start. Then when it does start and I drive it around for a period of time it will just stop and sometimes it will start after several minutes, but sometimes it won't and I will have to get it towed. Right now I cannot seem to get it started at all. It is not the starter, battery or anything like that. I love this car and would like to keep it but I need to be able to use it. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thank you
Janet

Good to see that it's not just American cars having trouble!
2 things may help, 1.) Check the fuel pump pressure.
2.) Adjustable camshaft timing solinoids, On the front of the camshaft cover.
See if the car gets spark, and fuel!
Lastly if you have factory security, it may be disabling the ignition.
