Car died and wouldn’t start again or if it does it runs roughly for a few seconds then dies

Hello, checking engine timing with proper tools and equipment would be helpful. Beyond that, air - fuel - spark mixtures are the key to the engine running properly. Something with the air versus fuel delivery may be out of line - which can be due to sensors and input information to the engine's processor, or could be from mechanical actions of components. Only hands on testing can determine what is happening. Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
