Hello,

Just so we cover the basics, have you checked and made sure that the oil is at the correct level. As if the engine has very little to no oil it will shut off.
Oil light can also come on for having low oil pressure, which could be due to bad oil pump.

So, when you try to start it, what does it do?
Does it crank or many any noise?

Please let me know a little more about what you have been experiencing and if you have tried anything. That way I will have a better idea of what this might be.

Thank you.
