Ran,stalled,won't start
So I just wanted to move my car in the driveway. I started it fine accidentally stalled(driver error) then it wouldn't start? I just got it back from the shop the day before. It got a new clutch, flywheel and starter. The battery and engine light were on. What could it be, fuel filter,battery,amp? Help please I just wanna drive it.

What year is your car?
Probably flooding, probably from a weak battery and/or alternator (based on the battery light), or the common ignition failure cause.
Do a deflood, but you are going to want to figure out what is weak that allowed it to flood in the first place.

I think he's referring to the specific part(s) of the starting system (battery, starter, plugs, ignition coils, etc) are weak and are causing the flooding. I bet the car was moved a few times and shut down before warming up while it was in the shop getting the clutch installed.
My money would be on the battery/alternator - get the battery tested and go from there with the deflooding procedure.
