Separate issues.

What's missing when it won't start? Does the fuel pump prime? Got spark?

The first time everything went the same but about 5 seconds after start up it stall out Completely. The second time i heard the pump humming went to crank over and sounds like it wanted to go then the ABS light, Brake light, and Airbag light all came on and stayed on. So I turned it off waited and read the codes again with the key trick and only 37 come up. I also checked the Vapor canister I can hear stuff in it when I shake it.

Got a fuel pressure gauge? Yours should be right about 39 PSI..... need to make sure you are actually getting at least close.

Need to verify you are getting spark as well, when it won't start.

Definitely need to replace cap and rotor.

Plugs look a little dark.... has your plenum been addressed?

Recheck your firing order. You may *think* you have it right..... I have done that one before.... REALLY became noticeable in fourth gear.

The wire on the passenger side spark plugs the first one from front of engine was too long the rubber wouldn't let it connect to spark so I cut it down some and it runs better no stalling idles good it idles at 700 rpm in park and Neutral and 400-500 rpm in drive and reverse only thing now is in reverse or drive when has is pushed down to go it shakes with more gas I give it but doesn't stall and a small popping noise from exhaust happens when accelerating and O/D switch won't turn come on when pushing it
