Trouble Starting

I started my car today to check the water levels after I installed a new thermostat and new plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotary button... now my car shut off after idleing about 25 min and it slowly started idling lower and lower til it died. Now when i try to start it it wont start. It sounds like a sound you would hear when you hold your hand over the carb of a motor to cut out the air... but i know the sound is from the exhaust pipe...

Re: Trouble Starting

You may want to check your cap and rotor again. Sometimes they don't always go in straight and get messed up on the inside. I had this happen to me once before. Also check to see if the vacuum lines that go in to the back of the intake plenum are still hooked up as they can be easy to accidentally knock off when replacing the cap and rotor.

Re: Trouble Starting

Well I checked for codes today and 3 came up-

23. Low temperature at manifold air temperature sensor OR Throttle position sensor error

32. Fault in barometric pressure sensor circuit OR Fault in exhaust gas recirculation valve diagnostic switch OR Fault in electronic vacuum regulator valve

42. Fault at electronic spark timing circuit OR Fault at direct ignition system OR Fault at fuel cutoff relay circuit

What do these mean like what do I need to do to fix these problems...
