Once in a while car dies while trying to start

Try checking the basics first. Are there any other warning lights on the Dashboard? Does the Central Locking work correctly? Central locking issues can suggest a dying battery in the key fob.
This could be a low battery. Starter motors use a huge amount of voltage to turn the engine, (9 volts from the 12 volts in the battery), so the dash display going off suggest not enough power in the battery. Batteries are usually past there best once they are over 5 years old so consider buying a new one. Do you have a friend who knows how to use a set of jump leads correctly? Try connecting their car, to yours and try to start your car as normal. If it trys to start or actually starts it is probably a battery issue.
Are you getting anything at all when you turn the key? A click? A rattle? A 'Clunk'?

Sounds like you might have broken the timing belt and now have a piston hitting a valve.

Clunking noise sounds like a piston to crankshaft problem. You can do a compression test to determine the bad cylinder.

Maybe the Fly Wheel broke, this loud clunk noise you're describing, does it sound when you try to start it?

1) Reset the ignition timing according with the specification manufacturer
2) Test the primary circuit and secondary circuite of ignition system. see the diagram attached. God bless you

Sounds like the pump has seized.

have u had the starter tested

if oil light came on and then died, and now when you try to start it just clicks/clunks once, chances are you ave a seized engine, sorry about the bad news
but if oil light came on when is stalled itt could be anything, need moore ddetails on what is happening

MAke sure the car is in park before you try to take the key out and if that is not the problem try to move it back and forth a bit. Do the same thing to do steering wheel too then wiggle the keys again if they still havent come out. Usually it's just a small misallignment. And a big problem when you're car won't start is that the alternator is dead which drains your battery. If you bought a battery within the last 4 years it shouldn't die. A lot of people make the mistake of changing the battery then it dies again within a year.

Clunk-clunk? Sounds like the flywheel broke. Maybe (if it's an automatic) the torque convertor came unbolted from the flywheel. I hope that I could help you. Best wishes.
