engine problems

Please help me. On Monday I changed all my ignition components and vacuum lines. I went to work the next day ran fine going but on the return trip my car would not rev when passing, instead it bogged down and almost died several times. Anyways about an hour after I got home and let the car rest it would not run, the idle speed was very low (400 rpms) and rough. also if I tried to press the gas the engine would die. What could be the problem?

Re: engine problems

Dittot he previous poster. Also it sounds like something came loose since it was running fine. Double check all your connections and make sure the distributor is tight.

My chesk engine light is not on and I made sure all connections are nice and tight. I even tried different sensors. TPS, MAP, and the IAC valve

Re: engine problems
