    Not nearly enough information.
    You need to take it to a shop that can connect a computer device and read the trouble codes.
    Given those codes, folks here might be able to help.

    Are you the original owner ?
    Does it have the original 12 V battery still in it ??

    How about some more KEY information. Does it still go to Ready and drive? If not, what happened when it failed? Long period of parking? Low on coolant? Engine fire? Describe as much as you can because, while we are good, most of us are JUST short of psychic.

    i would test your 12v, make sure the gas cap is tight, and have the trouble codes read.

    how many miles/km on her?

    a loose gas cap will set the check engine for emissions reasons. a faulty/low 12v can wreak havoc with the computers and set false codes.
