you didnt say what kind an what year your car is.so its kind of hard to say what it is..but if your car is old. you need to have your "alternator check.it may not be chargeing up your battery.an when you use your lights an stuff it will drain your battery,so check your alternator an battery cables..if you have a new car.take it to the shop.to someone who knows what they are doing.

Sorry I am not a car mechanic, but could it be the battery? or a spark plug or an electric fault. Whats the water and oil gauge reading. Is there any gas/petrol in the car. Apparently the car needs a good warm up, to get things firing and to get the engine running for that it needs a good amount of petrol. If the tank is empty or near empty it won't work or run for long. Sounds to me like an electrical fault good luck
