Got stuck in the snow one day and the car were perfectly fine before this then all of a sudden motor light come on traction control light came on parking brake light come on and ABS light come on spitted and sputtered tried to stall out. Next day ran perfectly fine until I parked it then it wouldn't start back up all the lights and everything work but it would not do anything. When I turn the key made no sound did nothing. Now it will start but won't stay running more than 2 seconds. Somebody said maybe the timing, but I think it might be something else. Could you please help?
