Normally I would say it was a bad fuel pump, or an associated fuel problem. Although, if you have no problem with a rough idle, or slow idle, then I would look for a loose Gound connection in the starter circut. Check ground connections, and especially the connections on your ignition switch.

The car will start and run for a while but after you shut the car off it will not start?

I would start with replacing plugs, wires, and distributor cap/rotor (if applicable). If that doesn't help, have the timing and compression checked by someone who knows what they are doing. Those are the basic causes of ignition problems. Hope this helps!
