    there could be a few things. bad alternator, bad battery, bad fuel pump, bad coil, and so on. Have it towed to a garage and have it diagnosed.

    First, if your battery is 4 or more years old, replace it and make sure the battery connections are tight and cleaned when the new battery is installed. Then have the technician check the alternator charging voltage. It should typically be 14 volts or more.
