What are your codes? That should tell you something.

Sound to me like you may have a rod knock.

It sounds to me like you need a new engine. If the engine is knocking badly, there can be so much friction in the motor that it won't idle. I had a friend who put his main bearing caps on backwards, and all I can say is boy did that engine squeal when he started it up! Pull the oil pan and see if there are any surprises sitting in the bottom.

Everytime you check, a different set of codes. Check ALL your ground straps. Pass motor mount to frame, Intake to firewall, fuel injection harness to rail, negative from Battery to head.

Also, computer could be going bad.
