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.

Hello,

It sounds like you lost the programming did you disconnect the battery when you did the job? Lets run the codes to see what comes up. here is a guide:
