    Car starts and dies right after

    Recently I have changed my oil and moved my car into the garage. After working on my odometer gears I went to turn my car on to see if my gauges were all working and my car started turned over and then drops to no rpm and dies. I just tried to replace my fuel filter and spark plugs and still not fixed. Tried to search around the forums for help but nothing has helped. Anyone got advice ?

      Thanks I figured it out before I checked bak on the forum. I unplugged it and it idled correctly and I drove it so I'm guessing that's what I need to replace.
