won't idle, why?
my car won't idle and when I rev it up it backfires. I changed my plugs and wires, and I also changed the oil. It starts and will rev. I haven't tried to move it yet, I did put it in reverse and it stalled.

Hmm... possible intake/vacuum leak?
Fuel system clogged or leaking injectors?
Misadjusted TPS or MAF?
Do a compression test just to make sure that it has enough (90+ psi) to idle in all SIX chambers. IF that's good, then we can look elsewhere
