Car won't idle, just stalls.
 
So about a week and a half ago i put on my long tube headers, duals, and some TR-55's. Car has been running great, the SES light came on as i expected. Today I went to the gas station. I cut the car off and filled up, then i got to start it again, and it cranks over fine, then it just stalls. I also noticed the SES light was off. I can make the car idle with a little bit of throttle and it still runs great. it just wont idle. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

make sure everything is connected right, not just your spark plugs and wires but all your hoses concerning any vaccuum leaks . . . are you gettin a backfire at all? if so you've got a vaccuum leak some where

i went out and played with the plug wires a little, none of them seemed like they were lose. Then i went and started the car, now it starts and idles fine. I don't know if it was actually a plug wire or my car just had a momentary freak out session.
