so since February 2010 i haven't started my car. i just got done replacing the coil pack. 1 & 3 on the old coil pack was really burnt. so i got to start my car today.. the problem is that its idleing from 500-700 but it wouldnt go pass that. also when it goes to 500 rpm it back fires... so what is wrong with it now??
 
Check your timing before you start it up again. For whatever reason the timing belt tensioner might have let the timing belt slack a bit while the car was sitting, then when you started her up the belt might have slipped a few teeth.

Quick Timing Belt Check
