Crank Postion Sensor will sometimes do that. Not saying that's the issue, just an observation I've noticed with some having the same issue as you described.

Other possible issues:
fuel pump or fuel filter is clogged.

I also thought about the crank sensor. But if the crank sensor went bad would it make the car cut off after running. As far as the fuel filter where is the inline filter at on this vehicle? Having trouble finding it

My 04 seems to act the same sometimes. (not while driving however) I am able to start it after a few attempts while turning the key to on 5 times then starting it with the gas pedal depressed. It spits and sputters and eventually catches after a few tries.
