!st, doublke check all the plug wires, make sure oyu have then right and they are snapped in properly. it's real easy to get them crossed.

Try pulling the ECM fuse and resetting it, double check all the connections are good, corrosion on the coil wire is common as well. The coil is mounted to the front of the driver side head and is mounted to the ign. module. make sure those connections are clean also.

next,

Pull the IAC valve, make sure where it seat is clean, you may need to run it in a bit to get it to idle long enough for the ECM to get it set.

The code 36 ( high res ) causes erractic spark, and as a result can overheat the electronics in the opti, causing the car to shutdown, eventually you would get a code 16 as the spark/heat will kill the opti sensors.

The code 36 can be the result of corrision on the opti harness or just age resulting in the connections getting brittle - etc.
