I just replaced the head gaskets on my Grand Prix. Everything is put
back together but it doesnt want to run. It will run if you hold down
the throttle but it is very rough. As soon as you let off the throttle
it dies. any suggestions. please help.

Pretty hard for us to figure out what happened! I guess
you will simply have to recheck what you did. Hopefully,
you didn't make mistake of not getting the intake and
exhaust pushrods mixed around.

You may also want to look for some sort of vaccum
leak....that's another common problem that can occur.

Large vacuum leak somewhere, crossed coil wires, injectors not connected,
it's tough like Ian said were here, your there.
