Best guess is that the flexplate is the wrong one.... screwed up your cps....Good luck

unfortunatley I agree x2 on possible wrong flex plate.

But first I would chack and make sure you didnt screw up your cps , maybe pull it off clean it and reinstall and see what happens.

I hope its a really easy fix for you though.
