Is there bright white spark at all four plugs? Will the engine start with starting fluid? Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order? Is the mechanical timing right?

has this car ran before ? or have you changed the harness recently ? if so check your ground on your water neck/head/tanny.

Post a video of the blinking CEL.

Then clear the codes from the ECU to see whether they return after cranking the engine.

How did you get the engine to start?

If you are sure codes 6 and 10 are thrown, then fix them and go from there. Are the ECT and IAT sensors connected? A broken TPS wire should throw a TPS code. Look for swapped sensor connectors.
