l have the above car 2.2 manual tranny.l replaced the timing belt and related parts, thermostat, and the water pump.However, after everything is installed, the check engine light is flashing rapidly and the car wo not start.Ideas?
l asked the shop to reset the computer, but they didn't.The car is going another shop on Monday and l should get a definite answer then.
palebeachbum, l will take it to Autozone if you pay for the towing.
My car is now another shop.l will know by Monday if this resolves my problem.
Computer is bad.

you might need to get the computer reset

Go to an autoparts store like Autozone. l know there they will hook up an OBDI l computer to your car to check the check engine code for free.
