07 magnum just stopped running
It had been sitting for almost two years but i jumped it 3 days ago and had been running fine ever since....last night i was driving and it just shut off out of nowhere. Now the engine wont turn over and there is a lighting bolt light on the dashboard when the key is in it? I have no idea what the problem is any help would be great

The lights in the cluster that are ON when the car isn't even running can't possibly point you in the right direction. Trying to diagnose a computer controlled vehicle without the help of some sort of scan tool, is basically spitting in the wind. One thing I would point out about the "Lightning Bolt" is that very often when it comes on while driving, the codes the PCM sets won't even be related to the ETC.
If it's been sitting for two years, there is a VERY good possibility that a rodent of some sort has been gnawing on your wiring harness, or a ground is corroded. Check those battery terminals REALLY well.
