Can you give more info?

Does it shutdown while going 55mph or just at stop lights, does it have gas, does it run rough, etc.

Welcome to cold starting hell... It could be any number of things. Unless you want to end up throwing about 300-450$ at parts, and spending about 6-8 hours replacing said parts take it to a good mechanic and get it diagnosed properly.

Hello new member from Guatemala!

Have you looked at the spark plugs lately?

See if they are oily or smell of gas.

You might clean them with a brush or replace them.

Let us know how they look.
