smack the starter with a hammer.

starter is not the problem.. lol

Have the alternator checked. That may cause the car to shut off when you are driving.

I take it this is a crank no start? we need to figure out
if fuel is lost or spark? Try spraying starter fluid to see
if it runs. If so fuel issue.if not spark.

thanks everyone. i found the problem.
it was the TIMING BELT. :dry:

it was worn down and half of the amount of teeths on the belt were worn off.
