The engine control module in your car constantly monitors engine performance, so if any cylinder has a misfire due to bad sparkplugs, defective coil or any other reason, the engine control module will shut that cylinder down via injector cut, turn eng off and back on will reset eng control module.

The main reason for this is to protect the cat from raw fuel entering and causing a melt down.

First thing I would suggest is doing a basic tune up, replace spark plugs, inspect coil ends and plug boots for any sign of moisture or arcing, air filter and fuel filter if you are confident in doing so.

Failing that I would suggest having it scanned for fault codes, this will lead you in the direction of your problem.

Then you could post results and we could try to advise with more specific information.
