I had the same thing happen. It is most likely the vacuum switch in the dash leaking. Pull off the line to the shut off valve and stick your vacuum gauge on the line. If it pulls any vacuum you have a bad switch. Once the car shuts off, the vacuum is released letting you start again. The shut off lever should not be moving while the engine is running. It should move when you shut the key off.
