Is your check engine light illuminated?
If so..please use the procedure in Techinfo to pull the codes and post them here.
If not.. is the gas level low or any consistent behavior when it does it besides when you first start it.

Let the car sit shut off for at least 3 hours, then pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator. If fuel dumps, drips, or poors out of the vacuum line or the regulator then the regulator is faulty and you will need a new one.
