    It sounds like you keep tripping the trouble codes.

    Running out of gas will set codes.

    Unplugging the 12vdc battery will set codes.

    how many miles on your car?

    there will be trouble codes that need to be read. start at an auto parts store for free and post them here.
    if we can't figure it out, you may have to take it to a dealer for a proper code reader
