Sounds like you may have a clogged catalytic converter. Do this test at night let vehicle run at idle for about 5-10 minutes and look at exhaust system if converter starts to glow red it is clogged.

Hey there. You might want to try looking into your electrical connections around your ignition switch your fuse box and the ASD circuit. You could also be that your transmission is not going into the correct position to allow the safeties to function properly. if it's anything like the problem I had it is a serious pain in the ass and you can tell it's what I had by when it won't start take an extra spark plug and hook it to a plug wire and see if you getting any spark out of the distributor. Cuz I bet you're not. I actually had to replace the factory coil with a super coil from a air compressor stand-alone engine. The build-up of corrosion and loss of continuity in the ASD circuit that feeds the coil and distributor system is degrading causing you to lose fire and have a weak Spark. I hope this helps

Are you sure you don't have anything in the fuel tank that would clog the fuel pump that you just installed
