scan the DTCs and see what the PCM will tell you...
double check all your plugs... make sure you didnt drop any and close the gap or crack the porcelain while installing them.. doube check the wires and assure that they are all intact and making a good connection...
check DTCs first... may be something simple you overlooked...

Did you get race headers, as in, are they non AIR? Also what did you fron O2 sensors look like when you pulled them out, or installed them back in?

Try this as well in the mean time, disconnect the battery completely both positive and negative terminals, let it sit for about 10 mins then go out reconnect and start it up and see whats happening.
