No you can start the car, you just cant drive to far or drive at all.

Means you're low on coolant. Top it off.

Are you heavily flooded (with fuel)? If you are you may want to remove the (the specific fuse elludes me at the moment. DO a search for it. Like ign fuse or something) fuse in the engine bay and crank a few times with your foot on the gas. This will clear out the gas. Re-install the Fuse and then crank to see if it'll rev up. If not, you may have a sensor or two out of spec. But first things first. Answer my questions I posed in your original thread.

If it's too full of coolant, someone probably didn't bleed the air out of the system when filling it up. Use the plastic bleed screw on the passenger side of the radiator.

If the car starts, but does not rev up to 3k RPM before dropping down to ~1.5k (when cold, 750 rpm when warm), check that the BAC valve, AWS (Accelerated warmup) solenoid & thermowax are still on the car & plugged in or hooked up.

You can also check that the air bypass screw on the top of the throttle body is open far enough, since it will allow additional air to bypass the throttle plates, and therefore increase idle speed.

If none of these things make any changes, search for threads on adjusting the variable resistor and the throttle position sensor (TPS).

It's the green 40A fuse in the underhood fusebox.
