So here is the thing, guys... Around holidays, after the car sat a few days in the cold i pushed the start button, the car looked like it was starting then the engine shut off immediately. Second time started up fine. I was putting this on the fact that was cold outside. Then when i returned in my hometown happend again... every time with the engine warmed up. It's like the engine starts normal for a second but the rpms don't go up and then it shuts off. I also noticed that the battery and CEL lights stayed on. Once even the VDC off, slip on came on the dashboard....
I really don't know what is happening... Every morning when i start it up it works fine with the cold engine.
Also i would like to point out the fact that after every second atempt it runs fine.
Any input is appreciated.

Sounds like a battery problem. That would be the first thing to check. Anything after that I would just take it to the dealer and have them look at it.
 
Could the battery be the problem since i run the car trough town, let's say for 15 min? I mean the battery was the first thing that came trough my mind but since it acts like this after a short drive, with the engine warmed up and almost never (just the first time) with the engine cold...
