My car turns off when it idles too long. The first time was after two minutes. The second time was in a parking lot trying to leave moving occasionally for 20 minutes. I couldn't even turn it back on. I had to get it jump started. I've had someone look at it and everything seems fine. What could this be?

Just to add to this one why did it have to be jump started?Was the battery dead when it died and you tried to start it?Also you had the battery tested made sure the battery cables were clean and tight?Had the alternator tested?Mad sure the battery cables were clean and tight?Made sure the negative battery cable was grounded properly?
