Problem with starting my car... Help plz..

My car starts up fine on a cold start but on a hot start it's a different story. When I try to start the car it stays on for like 3 seconds and idles real low and dies. It continues to do this for after about 5 try's until it finally starts. I've also had a problem with my car randomly dieing at red lights/stop signs for no apparent reason. If you guys could help me with some ideas I would be appreciated thanks...
