Question
Hi.
I have a 99 Camaro 3.8, It has been shutting off on me while i am driving and takes about 5 or 6 tries to get it to start back up.  It began doing this once every other day and now about 6 times a day.   
Please let me know what you think.. Thanks!!!!!

Answer
Not a lot of information but really it could be anything.First thing i would check is the fuel pump.Seems like the usual symptoms for these cars.Pressure check it and best thing to do is get a chiltons manual and check all of the possibilities .Go through the fuel and ignition system.You didnt say if the car does this hot or cold so im assuming hot.It could be the EGR,,,,fuel pressure regulator but really there are so many things to look at i would be guessing.
