I think youve got coil pack issues....ECU reads a slight voltage spike and shuts the car down your start it up again and its straight until the next spike which is unpredictable and drives you nuts and you think its bad gas and that a new fuel filter or even some plugs will help when in reality the packs are failing. There are several ways to check the coil packs ..check the faq and the stickies.
