aparently you have a coolant temp sensor problem,check if they are conected. they should be on the thermostat housing,those wires are prone to breaking. also check your timing and verify that your timing belt marks are set correctly.

by the way ,timing should be set at 10 degrees btc ..

here are the links on the code you have and also how to set the timing..

Mine ran really bad and wouldn't idle either for the coolant temp sensor disconnected. I dont know why they designed it like that but they did. Fix the connection and you should be fine.
