That's probably the best piece of advice anybody's gave me so far I'm going to try it again I said if this scanner doesn't work here around noon

So, you are just going to ignore any questions asked in order to figure out how to help?
I bet your timing chain broke but you won't clarify anything. The best advice is to help us help you by answering questions in some sort of coherent way.

OK, so you had no reason to replace those parts, just decided to do it? None of the parts cited are wear parts, except the spark plugs. You wasted time and money if you preemptively replaced them.

If you are throwing parts at the car without troubleshooting you are just throwing money away.

And, don't believe anything you read on Reddit or Facebook.

Today I got the water pump on I'm waiting on a new set of cans and I got the valve chain on when my cans get here and I can set the rest of it and I'll start putting it back together but I also found a cracked manifold a lot of little things too bad nothing you can tell the motor has three and 15,000 miles on it still has a beating heart and want me to get it back to going if it takes the last dollar I got

I’m thinking you mean cams not cans! Cracked manifold is problematic. Dorman sells replacement.
