Paul, Must have knocked something loose. Vacuum hose, throttle linkage or maybe the adjustment something like that.

Hello everyone, I just finished changing my water pump, hoses, Valley of Death clean- up, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor. When I tried to start the car this morning, it turned over, started briefly for a couple of seconds, revved to around 1100 rpms, then quickly died! On another attempt, I tried playing with the gas pedal to keep it running when it started. I managed a few more seconds, but nothing steady. As soon as my foot releases the pedal, it dies. I believed I was very thorough with the spark plug and cap wire order, fuel line assembly, etc. Could I have knocked some idle adjustment out of whack when I removed the throttle cable spool? Where should I start to get the car running again? Before I did this work, the car purred like a kitten, but wanted to change plugs, wires, and water pump for preventative maintenance. I didn't know how old the plugs and wires were. Any advice would be appreciated.
