as in starts and runs until you turn it off next? Is it drivable will it runs? Does this only occur while the car is fully warmed up?

You have leaky fuel injectors. Pull them out, get them serviced by someone reputable.

Two major possibilities, one has already been said by Titanium TT (TTT); Leaky fuel injector. The other possibility would be low compression (especially if it's an NA). As such check compression to ensure proper compression

well the compression is around 112 on front and back is that ok

Yes, that's really good. It's your injectors. I would put money on it UNLESS when it's not starting it's becuase the prior time you drove it it wasn't fully warmed up. If it was taken to normal temp before shut down than it's your injectors leaking.

primary are tuck under the intake manifold with the ports actually on the engine, secondaries are found on top of the intake manifold and are considerably easer to access
