it sounds like water or trash in the gas, change the fuel filter, add 2 bottles of rubbing alcohol(yes the $1.19 bottles from wal mart)to a tank of fresh gas that will dissipate any water in the gas.

I would take it to a mechanic ASAP. My grandparents had a Sable, and it spontaneously started on fire.
