    Well it could be one of a thousand things. If you want to know exactly what the problem is you need to get the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

    Get a laptop and download the software FORScan (its free). Then you will need an ELM327(modified) cable. Once you have those you can connect up and read the DTC's of which I expect there will be a few.
