Default 98 ek d16y8 wont start, it cranks but wont start

I've recently been getting a idle control error and changed it out. Few days later my car won't start. It cranks but won't start and throws up a check engine light. I tryed reseting the ecu with no luck. I have no idea what it is.

Let me check. I didn't check because I thought this was a common problem with a common fix.

Anytime your car is throwing code, always check it. it could be common or it may not, but it will always point you in the correct direction on what the problem is/could be.
