Any DTC codes with a OBD2 scanner ? Also check to see if a plug wire is resting on the headers and burning the wire. Sounds like you just installed headers ???

Check sensors running to your engine. IAT, ETC, MAP etc. Had the same problem a couple months back on my SS and it ended being my ETC sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature) had rotted out and was gone. $15 part at oreilys and litterally took me all of 2 minutes to change it. All codes went off and car ran much better! Hope this helps.
