Answer
Hi Aisha,
It may be the one of the engine rotation position sensors has gone bad or something with the distributor. If you can borrow a fault code reader that would plug in to a socket that is under the dash next to the steering column then you might get a fault code number that will tell us what is wrong. You might ask friends if they have such a fault code reader. That is the most direct way to find out what is wrong. It might be worth buying one for around $100 if you can't borrow one. Let me know once you get a fault code number(s).
