Tire Pressure Light Then Engine Shut Off.

Yesterday my tire pressure light came on. I checked all tires and they were fine. This morning I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. All the lights came on, but wouldn't start. It wasn't till the 5th time that it started. The tire pressure light was still on. I went to the gym, came out, started the car and no lights were on. The only thing that changed was we are having colder weather. The car has 52K miles.
