Exclamation Problems after header install!

Ok I just finished up my header install on Wednesday and now when I start in first and whe the car is at 1500 rpm or less im getting small surges or a slick bucking. Does anyone know what could cause this?

is it tuned?

shouldn't matter though. Did you leave the spark plugs in during the install? ... might have cracked one.

Is it stable while you give it some steady throttle? Mine freaks out when i try to idle without feathering the clutch or giving enough gas.

And mine is tuned. It has always done it though. Even before the headers.

I didn't notice it at all until yesterday. And I've driven it everyday since Wednesday. And did you find a way to fix it?

Ok I pulled all the plugs and checked them, after that the car ran great until today when the slight bucking and surging started again!

Did it feel like any of them were easier to remove than the others? I'm not sure what the torque specs are for these heads/plugs but it's worth checking out...make sure the coil is secure as well.
