After change the head gasket the car start rough then die. Most of the time it won't start and I have to push the gas. I try to put in drive but it die right away. Everyone telling me that it timing but I don't know how to time this car or if it even need to time. Plus I changed the spark plugs and wires and ingnition coil already.

Ok, no timing belt involved.

Re check your work to verify all connectors and grounds are hooked up.

It sounds like a vacuum leaks.
