Default 02 trans am missing

I just put headers on my 02 Saturday. I finally got everything together and I noticed it Kinda cut out at first and a couple wires were loose. It drove good for a while then it started acting up again. I can kinda hear an exhaust leak from under the car at the collector. But anyways now it surges at idle and it pops a lot when I rev it up. And it's throwing up no codes. I cracked one spark plug and replaced it I wonder if I may have cracked more. Please help guys thanks.

Pull all the plugs out and check them.

Popping can be an indication of a lean condition. Definetly check the plugs are report back the color on the electrode.

Yep these cars are up there in the years and those factory wires are pretty fragile. Good idea to swap them all with some new ones along with plugs.
