Sounds like multiple problems but I would suspect that your battery is still weak and needs replacement. Will the car start with a jump from another vehicle? If it does, get a new battery. If it does not, Then you will need to have diagnostics run. A scan might show you some fault codes that will help find the problem. Most parts stores can and will do this for free. Good luck.
