Default whats wrong??

about a month ago i got my oil changed... after 30 mins of driving after i got it, i turned the car off, came back 10 mins later started it and it died a few seconds after... tryed starting it and it wouldnt... got it started and it woulnd rev. over 4k. after runnin it for a lil bit it seemed fine. i thought they might have put too much oil in.. so i wasnt too worried. anyway.... a week ago i turned off my car and then started it about 2-3 mins later and it did the same thing... i let it sit for about a min. then it was fine... then yesterday the same exact thing... anyone know why this is happening??? it seems like it only happens when i turn off my car then start it up again in the next few mins (5-10 mins).. anyone??

Did you bother to check the oil level? Why wouldn't you worry about 'too much oil'?
Anyway, your symptom sounds similar to a hot soak restart problem. It's caused by a faulty temp sensor. The ECU thinks the engine is cold and enrichens the mixture, flooding the engine as a result. This isn't the only thing that could be causing the restart problem, but it is fairly common.
