I just changed my clutch plate on my car but after returning everything back, the car won't accelerate or idle. But when I pour petrol on its throttle it idles but still would not idle.

When I start it, it only idles for two seconds and shuts off.

Okay, lets run the codes to see what come up. Also can you recheck the grounds around the transmission please? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
