RE: need advice
How's your fuel filter? If your filter or anything is clogged up it would cause that. As fuel flows it sucks the particles in and clogs it up until it starves the engine out. Then as it sits the particles settle (because there is no more suction) and it will fire up again. I have also seen ignition modules cause this issue.

In that case, check out one of two things... either your Ignition Control Module or your Profile Ignition Pickup module / Hall effect sensor.
