Yesterday i tock my car to a shop and they changed my fuel filter. I drove it around everything was like normal. Today i came back from work it was raining pretty hard and all of the sudden my ABS light came on and my traction control light stayed on then the car turned off. i tryed to start, it turned on but felt like no gas was getting in. then after couple of second it turn off again.

You brought it to a shop for a fuel filter, thats what wrong. Crawl under there and check to make sure they installed it the right direction.

Idk about the abs and trac lights though, maybe water got in somewhere

Sounds like they unplugged the computer during the service and it got jacked up. Try unpluggin the battery's negative (-) post for about ten minutes. Then reconnect it. See if that clears up the glitches. If not, take it back.
