My car will start and then after a minute or two of running, the car will idle down and cut off but I can start it right up again and still get the same results. Whenever I put it into gear to drive it shakes and hesitates while I am driving and then cuts off whenever I have to stop at a light. It always starts back up but keeps cutting off. my car cuts off after i start it and put it in drive. it just started this this week happened only twice. other than that it runs great to be 7 years old

Sounds like a possible clogged fuel filter or bad fuel pump. The system provides and initial extra pressure to pressurize the system then pump pressure drops to normal. If pressure is low or filter clogged decreasing available volume the symptoms you describe are the result.

Engine will run fine for a few minutes then cut off.

If you have good spark at the plugs then it is vacuum or fuel.
1 vac listen for hiss in the few min it runs
check lines for damage, splits, unhooked etc. don't forget under car and dash

2 check fuel pressure, check for fuel delivery to the cyl. remove spark plug crank and check small look for fuel. remove coil wire so it won't start on you.

My 95 avenger cranks up but when it gets warm it cuts off what is it

Normally the problem is electrical, something gets hot and looses contact. Could be a relay, coil, sensor, or several other components.
When it will not start you will need to figure out if you are missing spark to the plugs or fuel to the injectors to proceed.

First scan the PCM for trouble codes using a hand held engine scanner, Then repair codes by replacing failed sensor as needed. If no codes are present try replacing the idle air control motor.
Auto Zone will scan your car for codes for free so you know what your going to have to replace and they do have a how to do it your self instructions to what your going to replace.
Good luck and hope this helps
