Default This thing is driving me crazy, HELP!

Changed the water pump in my '94, started right up. Bled the system and ran around the block a few times... Then sputtered and died. Checked all the connections. I got 4 codes H32, H34, H36, H38 (think this is unrelated [TCC brake switch,off]) 34 & 36 are MAF codes but when disconnected it still won't start. 32 is EGR circut, would this keep it from starting? Or is the Opti the problem? Coil? Dont want to take it to a shop if I can help it. This is my first Vette, (50,000 miles) only had it for a few months.

If the old water pump leaked and got the OPTI wet, then that's probably your problem. It takes a little while after the fact before the Opti goes out. Have the opti checked.

Actually:
DTC #34: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit Low.
DTC #36: Distributor Ignition System High Pulse.

What bothers me is you have four different types of codes: EGR, MAP, Opti, Brake switch

I would go over all the connectors and make sure everything is properly connected before doing anything else.

............... Look over ALL your work and make sure everything was re-connected including any ground straps ... and check any others that you can see and reach ................
