If the light is flashing, you’ve got a severe misfire which has the potential of damaging the catalytic converter(s) It sounds like this problem present BEFORE you did all this work . . . ? You can use a noid lite kit to make sure all the fuel injectors are being pulsed properly You can also perform a wet and dry compression test . . . if a cylinder has extremely low compression, all those parts you mentioned won’t do a bit of good, in all likelihood It’s also possible there is rodent damage to the wiring, perhaps going to a coil or injector Have you heard of those tools I mentioned? Are you car savvy? If no, at least you can perform a very thorough visual inspection and hope you can see the cause of the problem
