Default Z was acting weird today?

Hey guys so my Z is acting really strange. We just had a snow store and the Z didn't get put inside because I was out of town for a week. Well I get home and drive the car to work and back. Then today I go to work but on the way home the car just dies going about 4 mph. I try and start it and it struggles then starts so I pull into a parking Lot and take a look. Nothing out the ordinary so I continue home and it dies once again. I turn it over and again it takes a while for it to start. But this time when I start it, the service engine light comes on then the tcs off light comes on and the Slip light comes on. I make it home without any problem. The car feels like normal and sounds normal. But idk what it could be? I got a remote start installed on it a few months back but haven't really had a real issue with that. the car is lightly modded, has been modded for a while. Any ideas? I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow for a diagnoises.

Sorry for the sloppy writeing I'm doing this on my phone

This may sound stupid, but trust me, it happened to me. How old is your battery?

Don't know bought it used about 8 months ago with the same battery I didn't put a mulity meter up to it while it was off and it was showing 12.7x and while it was running it went 14.xx

Would a battery throw a check engine light? I can see if the battery was making it mis fire?

Ok so the car is in the shop it has a code P0340 I searched the forums an it seems like it's the sensor on the passenger side. Looks like a lot of members have had the problem. Hopping it's only that. Car gets tracked every weekend. Hope it's not my camshaft walking lol damn evo

This is a car forum not a grammar lesson. I will use slang if I choose to. Y are so many people up tight about it. I'm sure anyone who texts uses some sort of slang...
