What is your question?
Last week, my car wouldn't start. It would crank and not turn over. The next morning it started and drove fine, but then, after I would brake at a stop sign the car would hesitate before driving. Last Thursday, I was reversing my car, when the car stalled. I shut it off and it started back up immediately. The car still hesitates when accelerating after a stop. This morning, I had to brake hard and my car stalled out and wouldn't start for another five minutes. What is wrong with it, what is the estimated cost of repair?

First off when it is cranking it is turning over. You had a crank and no start condition. Any cel? I suspect a fuel delivery problem. Have the fuel pressure and volume tested under idle and load conditions by a qualified tech.
On both the 4 and 6 cylinder engine I have seen the idle air control motor on the under side of the throttle body get dirty and stick causing the engine to be lean on start up, or stall particularly on cold running conditions. Does the engine otherwise run smooth and have adequate power? I would also look for vacuum leak particularly at the air induction boot between the air filter housing and throttle housing, look for cracks in the air boot pleats.
