First thing you need to do-----cycle the key switch 3 times without starting the engine in quick succession, see if any dtc codes have been stored, or if you have one, plug in your code scanner, or----run down to autozone and get it scanned for free.

If any codes have been stored, write'em down and come back here.

Post up the codes---that makes narrowing it down much easier
