Default BAD Stuttering problem! Help!

Ok so I went and had my slp loudmouth 2 exhaust removed today to replace it with my new magnaflow exhaust.

Im driving home and it drove beautiful, nice and mellow sounding compared to the nasty raspy loudmouth I had with no cats.

Anyways I get home and decide to do a few other mods.

First I remove all the emissions b/s that was on my car from when they put 99 camaro exhaust manifolds on it before it was traded in.

I put the intake manifold plug in and put the 3 plates on the exhaust manifolds.

Then I remove the hoses coming from the air pump and disconnect the fuse so it wouldn't blow air.

I then added my new O2 sims and go for a drive.

Well all of a sudden it is really idling nasty (worse than normal with my MS3) then I go to give it gas and it falls on its face and doesnt go anywhere then all of a sudden jumps and goes.

Anyone know what this could be its been driving like this ever since!

I cleared all codes with my obd2 scanner and still nothing.

Possible vacuum leak around the intake manifold plug.

Did you make sure to put the sims on the rear O2 sensors?

figured it out, I had the O2 simulators plugged into the front O2 sensor slots, so I plugged in the front O2 sensors and then plugged in the O2 sims in the rear spots where there wasn't any O2 sensors and boom runs great!
