My car know sits in my driveway as of this morning DEAD.It started up ok then after letting it warm up a little,say 2-3mins.The "check engine" light came on and then the car stopped within 10secs of the light coming on.I turned off the car completely,then i started it up again,this time all was ok.I moved the car about 5 metres onto level ground.Then the "check engine" light came on again and the car stopped once again.This time however the car refuses to start.Lately the "check engine light" has been coming on while driving.When it does it is only for a few seconds,sometimes there is loss of power while other times there is no change at all.
HELP PLEASE
Cheers Adrian

I thought you were supposed to get the car up to normal operating temperature before using the check connector for the diagnostic codes.How can i do this when i can't even start the car????

If the battery hasn't been dis-connected any faults should be stored in memory.
