Default Changed Plugs And Wires Now SC Won't Stay Started HELP!!

So before I gave the car a tune up, it had a really bad vibration. It's been over a year since I gave it a tune up so I changed all wires and spark plugs. The trembling is gone but now all of sudden she will not stay started after I take my foot off the gas. Any ideas of what could possibly be my problem? In addition to that my heat is not kicking in, my a.c.fan blower motor isn't working I'm waiting on a new one to arrive any day now. Oh and all of a sudden my radiator light is coming on the one that looks like a house in the left corner.

Check your coolant level. Fill and bleed from top screw hole.
Test each wire.

How do I test each wire that's a pretty daunting task after putting everything back together?

check you put all the plugs to the right place. also you should have done the rotors in the distributors at some point with the plugs and wires those could be going bad also hard to guess, I would replace every 100k at the least. also its very common to loose a coilpack on these cars, or break the clips that go to them resulting in random problems.

If you aren't getting heat then that is a sign of low coolant on an sc400, and based on the radiator light, thats the place to start is to fill and burp the coolant system with the heat on.
a/c fan blower motor is unrelated.
