Hello,

Have you tried to jump start the vehicle?
If it is just a bad battery, then you will be able to start it and it will run normal. But if you shut it off you might not be able to re start the engine. So, jump starting it should be the first step.

Here is a helpful article on changing battery:

If you are unable to jump start it, it could either not getting enough fuel or spark.
The fuel pump can be inoperative due to a faulty relay or a bad pump.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
