[T3] Embarassed by the mechanics


70 FI squareback

I would like to start this post off by thanking Jim for being the only one 
to answer my last post (that I know of).  In my last post ,saga part II, I 
mentioned how I changed the boots, gaskets, spacers, on one side of my car.  
I also reset the timing after throwing it off a tad by removing and 
installing my distirbutor to clean the trigger points.  After I did all of 
this my car ran horrible....it kept wanting to cut off and would 
occasionally go to a super high idle. Well today I finished the job by 
replacing the boot, etc.. on the other side...now my carhpen worse.  
It doesn;t want to stall anymore, it just doesn't want to run at all.

As I turned the key I could hear the fuel pump come on, but for the first 
time I heard something in the engine compartment make a horrible buzz 
similar to the fuel pump.  What is this?  I hate to not finish this job 
myself because I feel embarassed when I have to take it to the mechanics 
because of something I messed up.  How could someone as stupid as me mess up 
a car by doing a simple boot/gasket switch out.  I feel like such a jackass.
