Engine Problems

I just replaced the power steering control valve and I restarted the car to adjust it. The car backfired after about 2 seconds of idleing and stalled out. Now, when I try to start it back up it won't fire, and it (unfortunately) sounds like a piston is hitting something. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

I'd say to pull the plugs and look for anything funny looking, then if it's a HEI check the module. :seeya :flag
