    My 2008 tundra has been shutting down about once a month upon starting. After a few tries, it runs fine for quite a while. I am afraid of getting stuck somewhere.

    check of any codes, if you dont have a reader hit most any auto parts store, many will do free code checks.

    Other than that, confirm air filter is good, may need changing. Clean MAF. Make sure spark plugs are good as well as any other maintenance items.

    If no codes and those items are checked and ok, it could be the fuel pump, fuel pump relay doing out.
