Default PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!CAR MISSING @ WOT AFTER HEADER INSTSLL???

Installed headers about 5 weeks ago. Have about 600 miles sence the install. Just this week, the car started missing at WOT. please help, i don't know what to do. I hate to drive the car in this condition, but i can't afford to take it to the dealer. The SES light went on for about 10 seconds so I had auto zone scan the PCM, but no stored codes were found?????????????

what plugs did you put in???new or old???
fouled plugs???
especially since headers tend to make you run rich.
are there any obvious leaks???
are any of the wires getting burnt???
are they all on tight????both ends....????
did you replace the wires when you did header install???
could it be completely unrelated???and just a coincidence???
possible bad o2????
cats still on???-clogged cat???
did you get the misfire SES???(blinking???)
possible coil pack going bad??
how many miles on the car???

Make sure that you plug wires are on as far as they can go on the plug. And that when it clicks into the coilpack it clicks twice. Just sounds like its a loose plug wire to me
