Car Troubles
I just got the car last Thursday and
I went to McDonald's with some friends. Didn't run it too hard. Went inside for like 10 minutes and left it running thinking it would be Ok. Came back out and it had shut itself off. Battery light was on and when I tried starting it, it acted like it barely had enough juice to start, then the check engine light started flashing and after I revved it to 3000 and let off it went to idle and cut off. What happened?

Flashing CEL means misfires, and you don't want be driving around with the engine misfiring. Likely culprits are the fuel pump, ignition system, or compression loss.
