Your check engine light is flashing.
Get the codes and post them here.

Make sure you have the coils and spark plug wires leading to the correct spark plugs.

Leading - Trailing - Leading - Trailing
Leading plugs are the lower plugs, not the higher plugs.

Also, make sure the wires are snapped onto the coils and plugs fully.
So many people don't make sure the wires are snapped in place.

Do a 20 pedal stomp on the brake pedal after switching the key to the ON position.

BC.
