There are many, many things to check. Do you have tools and work on cars?

Have you connected an OBD code reader and checked for trouble codes?

You could have a bad crankshaft sensor or a bad camshaft sensor. The ignition relay could be bad or maybe you have blown a fuse or 2.

A remotely possibility is that the timing chain jumped a tooth on the gear.

Can you check stuff like this?
