While driving, the car stalled. I had it towed to my driveway because it would not start back up. After getting it off tow truck it started. After letting it run for about 10 minutes it turned itself off and smoke was coming from under the hood. I popped the hood and the smoke seems to have been coming from the starter. What would make it turn itself off? Is this something that is usual for these vehicles.
You need to open your hood,look at your battery and see if the positive battery cable is not burned up or needs replaced.The other end of it is connected to the starter.Here's a link to where your starter is.Find the starter and see if the wiring is not burnt or touching anything or loose.If everything looks normal,then remove starter and take to Autozone,they can test it and it's free and only takes a few minutes.

When this happens, have someone listen under the car and see if the fuel pump is coming on. Either the pump or relay may be going bad.
An easy check for the relay is to see if there are any non-essential relays with the same # on them (like a fan relay) when your'e having the problem, temporarily switch the two relays. If this helps, then replace the relay. Before condemming the pump, replace the fuel filter (often neglected), and do pressure tests at fuel rail to see what you are dealing with. Note: it does not have to be fuel... A bad coil or crank sensor can do essentially the same stuff so, don't jump to conclusions before making tests!
good luck

Check and clean the idle control solenoid and passages, check the throttle position sensor and perhaps the crank sensor. Don't buy anything without testing or you will be spending money on stuff you don't need.
If stumped, get a chiltons or haynes manual and go through the test procedures they outline. Any good shop does this and you should too!
If it tends to stall that tells me that the iac is possibly opening late (sticking) but that can also happen if it gets bad information from the control system. (where testing is important)
