In July 08' I started my car, put it in reverse, it shook and shut off leaving the battery, transaxle, oil & seatbelt lights lit. I have taken my car to my mechanic numerous times. He's put in a new starter, spark plugs..he's checked my alternator, fuel pump and filter, battery etc. it just happened again yesterday while leaving best buy. sat in the parking lot for over an hour until it finally started. before that was about a week ago. most of the time it starts with no problem, other times when i start it, it will shake and shut off. when it shakes, if i put my foot on the gas it will stay on but as soon as i take my foot off, it shakes and shuts off. what could be the problem? It's a 2001 ford taurus ses with 131,000 miles
Thanks in advance.
