Well this still has no answers so ill take a stab. Do you have to move anything or unplug anything to replace the battery on these? I cant picture what yhe engine bay looks like or which side the battery is on. But that would be my best guess is that something is unplugged if in fact it ran fine before you replaced it.

It's either got a vacuum leak or you disturbed the ignition wires.

I bought EGR Valve & Catalytic Converter for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3.8L with 225k on Friday, Saturday I had it installed, I should of done the EGR myself just I'm not good with those things & didn't know if I replaced the EGR before the Catalytic Converter if that would mess anything up one before the other as I don't want to be stranded. Only thing is after those 2 things were replaced it still runs like crap. Suggestions? I've asked around. I've been told to get it hooked up to a computer. I contacted another mechanic in MN & he told me take the throttle body off & clean well & then replace.??? 8 Answers
